Beadworking for Meditation and Prayer
A unique bead working class where participants learn to do the ladder stitch and other beadwork techniques. A selection of gemstone, metal, glass and wood beads will be provided so that each student can create his or her unique interpretation of the project. Everyone will have the opportunity to talk about how and why they chose the beads that they used and discuss how they will use them to guide them in self discovery, meditation, mindfulness, and gratitude. The word bead comes from the middle English word bede, which means to pray. We will learn about the origin and development of prayer beads throughout the world and how they are being used today.
