The Heard Museum Master Artist Workshop series provides up-and-coming and mid-career artists access to mentorship with master-level artists. Jordan Poorman Cocker is an Indigenous Artist, Curator, Scholar, and Designer from the Kiowa Tribe & Kingdom of Tonga.
In this workshop students learned to make their own beaded medallion through Kiowa techniques and the history and cultural significance of beadwork. At every stage of creation, students collaborated with their peers from brainstorming design to refining finishing touches.
