    Beadwork connections with Alison Shields and Teresa Vander Meer-Chassée

    Assistant professor Alison Shields invited Teresa Vander Meer-Chassé as an artist-in-residence to create beadwork and explore how she connects with students the Indigenous way.

Let’s hear what they have to say about beadwork and how taking the time helps to learn and connect with each other.
