Beaded earrings workshop with Amanda Keewatinawin
Join us for an evening filled with creativity and learning. Local indigenous artist and owner of Mystic North Jewelry, Amanda Keewatinawin, will be leading a workshop on the indigenous art form of beading. She will be sharing knowledge on the history of indigenous beadwork and how to create your own beaded fringe earrings.
Amanda Keewatinawin is a Nêhiyaw (Cree) woman and an enrolled member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe in Rocky Boy, Montana. She is a mother of twins and a lifelong resident of the Wenatchee valley. She is a local indigenous artist and entrepreneur who has enjoyed making wearable art for her business, Mystic North, here in the valley for about 10 years. Her work is inspired by the beauty of NCW and the surrounding areas. She is passionate about the preservation of indigenous art, language, culture, and land. When she’s not busy making jewelry for her business, Amanda enjoys spending time with her daughters, beading for loved ones and hiking with her dog.
