Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Instead of giving a box of candy or a bouquet of flowers to that someone special, this year think out of the box and give them a piece of jewelry that you have made yourself. The Institute for American Indian Studies is hosting a Jewelry Making Workshop on Sunday, January 29 beginning at 1 p.m. just in time for Valentine’s Day!
At this fun and creative workshop, participants will learn how Native American communities across the country have used materials such as stones, shells, bone, clay, seeds, multicolored beads, and even porcupine quills to make jewelry.
This Sunday Funday workshop provides participants of all ages with an exciting opportunity to learn a new creative outlet. The Institute’s Educational staff will be on hand to help participants decorate their very own piece of jewelry. Participants will combine traditional items from nature and multi-colored beads into a piece of jewelry that is one-of-a-kind, and more importantly, their own creation. A highlight of this workshop is to create a piece of jewelry using different colors and textures that are sure to dazzle!
Space for this workshop is limited and pre-registration is required. To register visit our website or click here, call 860-868-0518 or email us at events@iaismuseum.org. The price of participation is $5 for members and $15 for non-members.
