Happy Juneteenth! Looking for a way to celebrate Juneteenth that’s educational, fun, and free!?
We hope to see you tomorrow for BEADS OF HOPE, a FREE beading workshop hosted by NB Makes at our (new!) coworking space for makers, Make Space! 🥳
Saturday, June 20th, 11am-5pm
Make Space, 514 North Marsalis Avenue, Dallas, TX 75203
RSVP at the link in our stories today!
Did you know that during the African slave trade, trade beads were used to barter for people? That means jewelry was actually used to oppress instead of bring joy, as it does today. A central part of NB Makes artwork is reflecting on this truth and taking opportunities to embed joy and intention into every jewelry event. 🖤❤️💛💚
In honor of Juneteenth, Beads of Hope is a community-based jewelry-making experience hosted by NB Makes, designed to educate all participants on the impact of trade beads in Black history and celebrate hope and freedom. This event is presented in partnership with the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture and in collaboration with Make Space, featuring activities from fellow Black makers Mosaic Maker's Collective.
See y’all tomorrow!
