Peel Gallery + Photo LabIndigenous Wire Wrapping Jewelry Class
Honor Mother’s Day with a small, beginner-friendly wire wrapping workshop led by Indigenous Memories.

The pendant draws inspiration from the hardy Ponytail Palm, a plant that stores water in its trunk, encouraging self care and foresight. All supplies are included.
