April 2023 Meeting - Hannah Rosner
Join the Upper Midwest Bead Society and Hannah Rosner in April for our member's meeting. Hannah will discuss the origins of tambour bead embroidery, present the tools you'd need to get started with this Haute Couture technique and also do a short demo.
I hold a BFA in scenic design and English literature from Swarthmore College and a Master’s Degree in scenic and costume design from The Ohio State University, but my true love is beading and beadmaking. The hardest part of going from costume design to beadwork was to try and learn that soutache is NOT really done with hot glue and duct tape.
I taught design for 5 years at the Art Institutes International – both at their Pittsburgh and Chicago campuses. I was a Starman Beads Trendsetter for 8 years. I have taken part in 9 Toho Bead Challenges and placed in two Toho Bead Contests. I placed 3rd in the Glass Craft Expo jewelry show in 2009, was a finalist twice in the Bead & Button Bead Dreams Competition and taught five times at the Bead & Button show. I’ve taken part in 4 Battles of the Beadsmiths and have taught across the country at bead stores, shows and societies.
