Awareness Pin Two Day Workshop
Join us for our first Awareness Pin Two Day Workshop with Janet Dugan
September 18 & 25 1-4

Session 1 (up to 3 hours)

Participants will create an Awareness pin using the one needle flat stitch method of bead

embroidery. Participants will choose the type of pin, the colour of beads and backing for the

project. Two or three rows will be beaded around the cabochon to complete the first part of the pin

making process. Next, the project and backing will be cut out, a pin attached and then glued.

Session 2 (up to 3 hours)

Participants will learn how to use the whip stitch method of edging to bring the back and front of

the project together.

Janet Dugan Artisan Changing Sky Designs Janet is of mixed heritage. Her Spirit name in Ojibwe is Onsek Keeshigo (kwe), meaning Changing Sky (woman) Janet is a proud member of Munsee Delaware FN (Leni Lenape) Wolf Clan. Her maternal Grandmother was a member of Alderville FN, and her maternal Great Grandmother was a member of Akwesasne FN, Turtle Clan. The fallout from the residential school experience for Indigenous people has affected her family tremendously. Her Great Grandmothers were best friends during their time at residential school. Her Maternal Grandmother attended day school in Alderville FN, and her Mother was detained in the Mohawk Institute as a young girl along with her siblings. Janet began her journey with seed beads in 2018 when she founded the “Red Dress Pin Project”. She has made over 350 red dress pins with all proceeds going to organizations who support Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit who are at risk of becoming murdered or missing. More than $4,000 has been donated to date. Beading is an important part of her healing journey. Janet believes that beading is medicine.

All ages event. $60 for 55+ Members / $65 for non-55+ Members. Preregister here.
