Bead Therapy is very interactive and meditative. It gives the participants the creative power to express how they feel and allows them to see how their feelings look in the form of art they produced. This workshop will teach the basics of beaded jewelry making and the difference between semi-precious stones and precious stones. The goal of Bead Therapy is to create a safe space for self-expression to create a piece of art that represents the emotions of the creator.
