Teen Time: Modern Beadwork with Perler Beads

Your teen will have the chance to learn about Native American beading traditions and create their own colorful perler bead project during this one-hour workshop. This hands-on activity combines cultural exploration with a fun take-home craft that teens can be proud of. It's a great way for young people to engage with Indigenous artistic styles while making something they'll actually want to keep. This program is part of the library's Native American and Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month celebration, so it ties learning into a broader community observance. The session runs for an hour, giving teens enough time to both absorb some cultural context and complete their beadwork creation. It's designed specifically for the teen age group, so the pace and content should feel just right for that crowd.
