Threads of Remembrance~ Holding Their Story in Every Bead

(Formerly Beaded Memory Bracelets Workshop)

Facilitated by Jill Batiansila

Tuesday, March 24th

5:30-7pm

Light of the Valley, room 105 of the back buildings

In this creative arts workshop, participants will design and bead a personalized bracelet in honor of a loved one who has passed. Through intentional color selection, symbolic charms, and thoughtful bead patterns, each element will represent a memory, a personality trait, a shared experience, or a meaningful detail that still lives in your heart.

As you are guided through the beading process, you are invited to recall the textures of your memories — their laugh, favorite colors, hobbies, sayings, music, places, and the small, sacred details that made them who they were. This is not only an art class; it is a structured space for remembrance, storytelling, and connection.

Participants will leave with more than a bracelet. They will carry a wearable piece of art — a tangible symbol of love that endures beyond loss.

Each bracelet becomes a quiet companion: something you can touch in moments of longing, celebration, or reflection. A reminder that while life changes, connection does not disappear.

No prior art experience is required. Materials and guidance will be provided.
