Tables line a
hallway in R.B.
Russell Vocational
High School on
Wednesday evenings,
and the scent of coffee and snacks creates
a homey and welcoming atmosphere.
Beaders, from beginners to experts, sit and
stitch a rainbow assortment of minuscule
seed beads on various projects. At one
end, teenagers are working on their first
project, learning how to bead a simple
flower. At the other end, a long time
beader is sharing tips to make sunflower
earrings. In between, beaders of all ages
and abilities are chatting and working on
an array of projects like pins, keychains,
lanyards, moccasins, and mittens.
