2024 Artist Series Closes with the Rosa Scribe Kokom's Tamarack

Rosa Scribe

Cree
"I was raised by my grandmother (kokom). I was fortunate to gain and master the skills of beading by learning first hand experience at a very young age. The patterns I use are floral which was passed on from my grandmother. She used vibrant brightly coloured floral designs. I still continue and embrace my grandmother's unique signature style of beading. Today, I carry the teachings of my grandmother's. I continue to teach and schedule classes on beadwork. The students learn how to make moccasins, mitts and skirt making."

Rosa Scribe

Rosa Scribe was born in the Cree community of Norway House, Manitoba. Rosa is a very soft-spoken and inspirational artist with a quiet strength about her. She speaks volumes through her beautiful and colourful work. Having learned the art of mukluk and moccasin making from her Kokum (grandmother), she has spent the last 25 years perfecting her art. As a teacher a the University College of the North, Rosa works hard hard to ensure that this traditional art form is passed on to future generations and never forgotten.
