NORTHERN PATTERNS: LEARN TRADITIONAL ARCTIC BEADING DETAILS

This hands-on workshop draws inspiration from the work of master bone carver Inna Eilyuvna Iadne, whose intricate sculptures and jewelry reflect the cultural depth and artistic traditions of the Indigenous peoples of Yamal. Participants will explore Northern ornamental traditions through beadweaving, translating symbolic patterns and storytelling elements into contemporary wearable art.

Through guided practice, attendees will learn 1 to 3 beadweaving techniques and create an original jewelry piece such as earrings, a bracelet, or a pendant. Along the way, they will gain insight into the symbolism, composition, and cultural context that inform Northern decorative arts, as seen in Iadne’s meticulous attention to detail and narrative craftsmanship.

The workshop aims to develop artistic taste, strengthen compositional thinking, and equip participants with the skills to independently design and create meaningful handmade pieces that connect traditional heritage with modern expression.
