Métis Beadlike Painting

Accès

À propos

Join Jocelyn McIntosh at the Albion Community Centre for a creative and cultural experience exploring Métis bead-like painting. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to use paint to mimic the intricate patterns of traditional Métis beadwork—often referred to as Métis Dot Art. Together, we’ll explore the rich history and symbolism behind these vibrant floral designs, which are a proud expression of Métis identity. We’ll also take time to discuss Australian Aboriginal dot art, drawing connections between global Indigenous art forms and their deep cultural roots.
