Join other Indigenous folks for a fun afternoon of beading!
CUAG invites you to a hands-on workshop with artist and master beadworker Katherine Boyer. Drop by for an afternoon of flat stitch beading and make your own beaded goodie! All skill levels are welcome. We’ll provide the materials and light refreshments!
This workshop is kindly supported by the Stonecroft Semester.
This workshop is reserved for Indigenous folks. Registration is free and includes all materials. Limited spots are available. Please email Dani Printup.
Access: CUAG is a barrier-free space, on two levels. An elevator in the building lobby enables you to access both floors. There are automatic entrance doors on both levels. Service animals are welcome.
Construction: A big construction project at the north end of campus has changed the usual routes to CUAG. Check this site’s visiting page to find a map, directions for all modes of transit and a new wayfinding video for drivers.
Parking: Paid parking is available in Lot P7D. It is a big gravel lot. It is a sub-section of and accessed from Lot P7, the huge, paved lot at the northeast corner of campus.
A “pay-by-plate” machine is located inside the parkade, at the closest (northeast) corner of the parkade. You can also pay online.
