Mindful Beading
taught by Arlin Zephyr Will
Beads have held special meaning across cultures for centuries, serving as tools for meditation and prayer, keeping count, marking milestones, and simply providing a calming, tactile focus for the mind.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore the rich history and symbolism of beads while creating your own beautiful set of glass beads. Whether you choose to use them for meditation, mindfulness, or as a unique personal keepsake, you'll leave with a meaningful handmade creation that reflects your own style and intention.

About the Instructor
I work with glass and stone beads to create nontraditional rosaries, meditation beads, fidgets, and memory aids, and I strongly believe in finding ways to bring beauty and ritual to everyday life. I have worked as a teacher, educational program coordinator, and multimedia communicator, and have professional experience in the performing arts. I have been an educator and an artist in parallel for most of my life, and I am excited to now be merging those two passions. I am new to the Capital Region (formerly of North Carolina) and loving it here.
