Lor Brand is a Métis and settler beadworker from Winnipeg, MB, in Treaty 1 territory, with family roots in Richer, MB. She learned two-needle beading with guidance from many Métis beadworkers and has been practicing ever since. A lover of ornate, well-crafted pieces meant to be treasured for a lifetime and passed on when the moment is right, Lor aims to create beadwork that carries that same sense of longevity and care.

Lor’s practice is rooted in a deep appreciation for things that take time, pieces made with patience, intention, and the kind of care that can be felt long after they leave the maker’s hands. She works to pass on the tradition of creating well-crafted, meaningful items.
