Free Beaded Wrap-Stitch Keychain Workshop with Lisa McGeshick
Sunday, November 15 at LOLA – Land O’Lakes Art Center, Minocqua
About this event
The Beaded Wrap-Stitch Keychain Workshop is a hands-on class at LOLA – Land O' Lakes Art Center, taught by Lisa McGeshick. Students learn the beaded wrap stitch and make a keychain in colors they choose. The workshop is part of LOLA's Native American Heritage Month Artist Residency, and it suits anyone in the Minocqua area who wants a small, focused craft session.
Who's playing
Lisa McGeshick leads the class and supplies every material, so students arrive ready to stitch. She teaches the beaded wrap stitch, the pattern that builds the keychain. The class sits within LOLA's Native American Heritage Month Artist Residency, which gives it a clear cultural frame.
What to expect
Lisa walks the room through the beaded wrap stitch step by step, so newcomers can follow along. Each student picks their own color scheme. The ends of the rope are finished with a small piece of leather or deer hide. The session is built around one technique, so the focus stays on a single piece to take home.
Why go
The payoff is a finished keychain and a stitch you can practice at home. LOLA is a nonprofit community arts center in Land O' Lakes that runs classes, workshops, youth programs and exhibitions, and it hosts live music through the summer. For someone in the Minocqua area who likes to make things, it is a practical way to learn beadwork with an instructor guiding each step.
