This course over March Break is for children (ages 7 - 11) who are interested in learning basic embroidery stitches. We will be working on embellishing four different illustrations based on First Nations legends, including "Why the Owl Has Big Eyes." There will be lots of opportunity to embellish the designs with beads and buttons. Participants will take home both indispensable needlework skills, and completely unique works of art, worthy of framing.
