SUMMARY:Indigenous Beading Workshop: Orange Shirt Pin
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, September 12\, 2026\nTime: 10:30 am – 1:00 pm\nLocation: Bata Shoe Museum\, 327 Bloor St. W.\nTickets: $65 \nJoin Toronto-based Cree-Métis artist Marissa Magneson for a beginner-friendly beading workshop. Through this hands-on workshop\, participants will walk away with a greater understanding of Indigenous beadwork\, tools\, and techniques as they work to complete a small beaded Orange Shirt pin. No experience is necessary.  \nA note from the artist: “I include ceremonial tobacco in these pins\, recognizing that learning and discussing topics including\, but not limited to\, residential schools is heavy. The medicine is there to help us in navigating those feelings\, while marking our commitment to and responsibility of reconciliAction. Likewise\, this becomes a part of the ceremony found within this workshop\, as the medicine is added in the community\, making everyone a part of that work.” \nParticipants are invited to fill their pins with ceremonial tobacco\, one of the four sacred medicines\, but this step is not mandatory.  \nAgenda\n10:00 am – Doors Open\n10:30 am to 1:00 pm – Workshop (with a 30-minute break) \nRecommended for participants 16+. Includes instruction\, materials\, and access to all current exhibitions.  \nBUY YOUR TICKETS  \n\nABOUT Marissa Magneson: \n \nMarissa Magneson is a Cree-Métis artist\, photographer\, educator\, and workshop facilitator currently pursuing her Ph.D. at York University in the Faculty of Education\, where she is researching Beadwork as Pedagogy: A Bridge Towards Cultural Reclamation and (re)Conciliation. She has a BFA honours degree from York University (Toronto\, Canada) and a Master’s degree in Canadian and Indigenous Studies from Trent University (Peterborough\, Canada). Her research explores Indigenous methodologies using beadwork as visual storytelling. Marissa’s work is rooted in decolonizing education\, strengthening community\, and cultural reclamation. In her collaborative work with various organizations\, Marissa works towards photographing\, consulting\, educating\, and creating programming in meaningful ways. Marissa would like to acknowledge her maternal grandmother\, Elaine Jessop\, whose life-long work on Indigenous women’s rights inspires her own journey. \nPlease review our Terms and Conditions in advance and check in with Visitor Services upon arrival.
