Description:
Youth 10-15 will dive deeper into the intricate art of beading in this creative after-school course! Over six weeks, students will explore a variety of beading techniques, creating unique projects ranging from wearable jewelry and accessories to decorative and hangable art. Students will experiment with color combinations, patterns, textures, and more complex designs while developing their own personal style. This class encourages creative expression, patience, and attention to detail while giving students the freedom to design and create one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect their individuality.
About the Instructor:
Students will be guided by local artist and beader Jenny Valadez Fraire whose family lineage stems from Zacatecas, Mexico. Jenny has been beading for nearly a decade and was passed down this ancestral art form by her mother. Through her teaching practice she views patience as the central lesson and teaching that beading provides. She has experience teaching kiddos as young as 2 years old and is excited to support young artists to explore a new art medium!
