Question 1

Who is this workshop for?

Accepted Answer

This workshop is for all community members (both Indigenous and non-Indigenous) who want to learn how to make big beaded bling beaded earrings.

Question 2

Can I take all 3 workshops (beading, cedar headband, cedar basket workshops)?

Accepted Answer

No, you must choose one of the workshops to attend. All the workshops are happening at the same time in the same space and if you take more than one spot for yourself, you are taking a spot away from another community member.

Question 3

Can I register myself and a family member for the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, however attendee names for workshops must be differentiated. Multiple tickets purchased under one attendee must differentiate who is taking each workshop. This is to prevent folks from signing up for all the workshops  and to ensure enough space for all participants.

Question 4

I paid $25 for a deposit ticket. What does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Since these workshops have a lot of resources put into them, we don't want people cancelling last minute. By paying the $25 eventbrite fee, it lets us know that you are serious about attending the workshop. When you attend in person on June 14th, we will have $25 in cash to give back to you.

Question 5

I cannot afford the $25 eventbrite fee. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

If you are serious about attending one of the workshops but don't have the funds, we have you covered! Please email alysha@zeezeetheatre.ca or DM her on instagram (@Collie.Collective) and we will waive the fee for you. The $25 deposit is just to ensure that people show up for their workshops.

Question 6

I want to do the beading workshop at home and not take the in person workshop, is this allowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes - we have 5 beading kits for at home use on a first come, first serve basis. Please email alysha@zeezeetheatre.ca or DM her on instagram (@Collie.Collective) and we will arrange for you to pick up the kit by June 8th, 2025.

Question 7

Can all the workshop kits be taken and finished at home?

Accepted Answer

No - only the beading workshop can. The cedar headband weaving workshop and the cedar basket making workshop will be completed in person with the time scheduled on June 14th. Some of the supplies to add final touches may however be brought home and finished at a later time.

Question 8

Can my children also take the workshop with me?

Accepted Answer

For the cedar weaving workshops, children 10+ and for the beading workshop, children 13+ are welcome to partake. Please caution, all workshops will have sharp objects in use and strong adhesives. All participants must safely participate in the workshops. No childcare will be provided on site.

Question 9

Will lunch or dinner be served?

Accepted Answer

We will not have a full lunch or dinner, but will have some snacks and light refreshments of bannock, Coast Salish smoked salmon, plant jams, fresh fruit, Indigenous teas and more.

Question 10

I have never created beadwork before, can I participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whether you are an Indigenous or non-Indigenous community member you are welcome to partake in this workshop. The workshop is slow paced and hands-on to learn the techniques. You will have all the supplies and a video tutorial to accompany the kit to take home if you do not finish.
