The Collective Workroom.
The Collective Workroom was established by four bead workers: Sam Norgard, Dawn Peterson, Carol Geraghty, and Tana Fileccia-Flagg. Under Sam’s direction these four makers have come together and facilitated notable community projects such as “Butterflies in my skirt, how’d they get there?” and “The Black and White TogetherProject”. We continue to work together as a research and innovative teaching team seeking contemporary ideas to share through our workshops. We hope you will join and support us.
