Beading Class with Indigenous Artist Savannah LeCornu
Description
Savannah LeCornu is a self taught artist from Ketchikan Alaska. She is Tsimshian, Haida, and Nimiipuu (Nez Perce). She works in formline and plateau art styles and strives to create modern, accessible art that celebrates indigenous peoples. As an Indigenous artist, Savannah tells stories. Storytelling has always been important to us as a people and it is something she has always gravitated to. Through painting, drawing, and beading she creates stories that preserve traditions, contemporary stories that show that Indigenous peoples are still here and thriving, and stories of indigenous joy and love. She comes from multiple tribes and works in the art forms of both her northern coastal and plateau roots, often combining them. Through vibrant colors, humorous titles, modern elements and traditional shapes she strives to create art that reflects her unique view and invites the audience to rethink the preconceived notions they may have about Indigenous peoples and arts.

After 30min, Savannah did not show up. The cafe worker didn't know anything about it. We were unable to get in touch with her except by her Instagram that happened to be on the wall. She claimed it was the fault of the cafe owner, whose voicemail was full. Very disappointed.
Savannah was oh so welcoming and kind. I was looking to improve my ability to design and I came away from the class more confident in that process. I had no idea i was making my life so much harder by begining my designs in the totally wrong direction. I was able to make personalized gifts for friends and family that coming winter. Highly recommend.
Had a fantastic time learning from Savannah, she is a great teacher and curates a warm, friendly and relaxed environment. It was also a good opportunity to connect with fellow travellers over shared interests and hobbies. The cafe is super cozy and serves delicious coffee to enjoy while getting crafty.
So much fun, very relaxing atmosphere, solid instructor, and the cafe is a whole vibe! When traveling it seems like activities are always commercialized and you are run through very quickly, this isn’t one of those money grab activities, you get the real deal here with zero pressure and all the atmosphere! Definitely a must if you are in the area!
So fun learning from Savannah. She was so helpful and patient. This was such a therapeutic and relaxing experience! Getting crafty is always just so good for the soul. Would definitely do again!
Savannah is great! I love the piece I got to come home with.
Great experience, awesome teacher!!

AMAZING!!! Savannah is incredible. So happy with my results.
The class at the cafe was really nice. The atmosphere was cozy and the instructor explained everything clearly. I liked that it felt relaxed and friendly. I’d recommend coming a bit earlier to get a good seat.
