Discover how to make a beaded bracelet with current resident artist Lakea Shepard!
Find inspiration from Lakea’s “head sculptures,” which use traditional African textile techniques including beading, weaving, and basketry. Then, mix and match beads from our large collection to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Play with incorporating pattern, text, or charms into your wearable bracelet. You’ll leave sporting a wearable piece of art!
Note: This activity will take place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. The event is subject to change or cancellation in response to current COVID-19 conditions.
