Conversation Stick (zoom class) 

more info to be announced.

A conversation stick derives from the traditional talking stick belonging to the Native American culture. Artist Jody Young has creatively honored this tradition by embellishing with both beads and beauty, pieces of ancient petrified Teak wood dating back to approximately 20 million years old. When one holds the conversation stick, one beholds the power of speech within the conversation. The individual can then share concerns or ideas, all while being respectfully listened to by the others. The stick is then passed around to each person to be given an opportunity to speak.

​Petrified wood possesses many positive properties. It gives the sensation that all will be well, calms one's fears, offers timeless energy and promotes concentration while one finds balance. Adorned with crystals, shells, natural beads and other facets a piece of art takes shape that truly becomes a conversation piece within itself for all to embrace.


A very special workshop that goes beyond beading. You will receive a one-of- kind kit including the piece of petrified wood that speaks to you. You will learn techniques of a strong netted bead foundation that you will then embellished with free-form layering style of Raised Texture beading and design.
