Paper Bead Making

A Fun Palace is a free event made by local people for their own community. At Fun Palaces people come together to share their skills, passions and interests, and to show the world just how brilliant and packed full of genius their community is!

Learn how to make beautiful paper beads from recycled materials.

The intricate artistry of Maasai beadwork embodies centuries of cultural heritage, spiritual beliefs, and female empowerment within East African societies.

Through the hands of countless generations of women artisans, this craft has evolved from simple strung beads into complex artistic expressions that serve as historical records and social indicators. In contemporary Maasai society, beadwork continues to be a powerful medium through which women maintain their cultural identity while adapting to modern challenges and opportunities.

No prior experience is necessary for this workshop, and all materials will be provided!

It's a fantastic opportunity to unleash your creativity, connect with like-minded individuals, and explore the beauty of repurposing materials to create unique art pieces.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn a new skill and create something beautiful. This is a drop in workshop but feel free to reserve a spot.
