THE TRANSFORMATION OF A BEAD: REFLECTIONS FROM CONNIE PAUL’S BEADING WORKSHOP

By Natalie Rollins, AGGV Public Programs Coordinator

Standing in circle under the golden Garry oak growing in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s courtyard, Yetta woke the heart beat of a drum with a soft slow thrum, thrum, thrum. She opens into song reflecting this gentle rhythm and deep reverberance. Yetta’s teachings for the beading workshop begin; we have been invited to learn about the transformation of a bead.
