The Beads Knees
The Beads Knees is owned by Mel Beaulieu, a member of Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation, living and working in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Mel blends traditional craftsmanship with developing technology - crafting intricate beadwork and transporting it into the immersive landscapes of augmented and virtual reality. The result is work that serves as a testament to the fluidity of gender and identity, the resilience of tradition, and the endless possibilities that arise when innovation and culture converge.
They offer corporate/group beading workshops at their studio in Fredericton, N.B., as well as traveling to deliver artist talks and workshops at schools and events. Contact Mel by email, or through the “Request a Workshop” form on their website to book a workshop/event.
