daphne beads: perler/parler

 
Beading and photo by Skawennati


In the great tradition of gathering around a kitchen table to bead and talk, from 2020 to 2024,  daphne hosted a virtual beading night each week. This weekly event was hosted by daphne co-founders Skawennati & Hannah Claus.

When we first envisioned these evenings, we imagined us all together, sitting around a big table, with plenty of beads on hand to share. Because of the pandemic, these evenings were virtual. But we were still able to share ideas and expertise! The point was always to meet and talk art in a relaxed atmosphere while perhaps making something beautiful in the process. We did this and it was beautiful. 









daphne operates on unceded lands. We are proud to be a part of this urban island territory, known as Tiohtià:ke by the Kanien’kehá:ka and as Mooniyang by the Anishinaabe, as it continues to be a rich gathering place for both Indigenous and other peoples.
