I am happy to say that we are having our first beadmaking event in Regina, Saskatchewan this Monday, May 21st! There will be 6 awesome artists making beads all afternoon during an open house of the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre. The centre is sponsoring our beadmaking sessions for BOC. (this is run by our city). The centre is a community teaching facility & has other mediums such as woodworking, photography, drawing, painting, jewelry and lampworking.
BOC has also arranged to have staff from our hospitals participate during the open house to spread the word about the program to the public who come thru. I am so excited & proud of my students for stepping up to participate. We are going to continue to do this monthly.

Did I mention I am excited!

If anyone is in the area & wants to participate in the future, please pm or email me!

I will post pictures on Tuesday of our bead efforts!

Here's the results! 62 beads made by 6 lampworkers in 4 hours! After seeing some Act of Courage beads in person - we decided we are dainty beadmakers! Our beads are only about 1 inch in size! Next session we will have to work on the sizing! There were approximately 600 people thru our open house. Teegan, her staff of caregivers and Leandra's family did a great job explaining & educating most of the public about the BOC program since its so new here!

It was a great day all around! Thank you to everyone who participated!
