About me:

My name is Calvin and I am an Ojibway Cherokee native – I grew up in the wild mountains of the great northwest state of Oregon.
As a true child of nature and wilderness my bead-work is strongly inspired by the wild winds, rumblings storms and wild waters I like to surround myself with next to my wife and our 7 dogs.
I love to spent hour over hour, one tiny bead at the time on creating bead-works not only to create something artistic, beautiful and forever lasting but also in honor of my ancestor s and with the goal to keep native bead work alive just as it has been already for 100s and 100s of years.
I created every piece of bead-work I offer with my very own hands, I believe bead-work carries the makers feelings and emotions with it to its new owner so whenever I sell a piece of bead-work I don t only give the work itself but also the good emotions I had when making each individual piece to its new owner.

Red Road Beading was born from the desire to create traditional but modern bead-works for not only traditional ceremonial purposes like some of the medallions but also modern everyday adventure bead-works such as earrings and bracelets my wife likes to wear while we spent our days outdoors hiking, hunting, fishing and mushing with the dogs.
