STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Discover the designs\, colors\, styles\, and techniques of trad
 itional bead embroidery as you work with Ojibwe cultural specialist and Gr
 and Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa member Marcie McIntire\, sewing
  and decorating a pair of moccasins. Students will design and make a pair 
 of adult-sized moccasins. Using quality tanned deer hide\, Marcie will tea
 ch the steps required for assembly and help students design a pattern to f
 inish a pair of moccasins with bead embroidery. The materials fee includes
  the fabric\, interfacing\, beads\, needles\, and thread. As time allows\,
  additional beadwork projects will be included. Students will also learn l
 eather sewing techniques. Marcie was exposed to beadwork from a young age 
 not only from attending pow wows\, but because her mother\, Ellen Olson\, 
 was a well-established bead worker. Marcie's grandmother was also a bead w
 orker\, and Marcie believes that beading was a family tradition at least b
 ack to the 1850s. In 1969\, an early point in her artistic career\, Marcie
  took a tour of a Red Lake museum. It was only a 15-minute tour\, but the 
 beadwork covering the museum walls made a lasting impression on Marcie. In
  addition\, the beadwork and birch bark work at the Grand Portage National
  Monument served as an inspiration. Youth ages 9+ with some sewing experie
 nce are welcome to register with an adult. A 25% tuition discount applies 
 to the youth registrant when registering with a full-paying adult\; call t
