Bead Embroidery Workshop at Bergen House
Video Montage x Austin Welch
Austin Welch captured my bead embroidery workshop at Bergen House, hosted in the sunlit studio he shares with artists Jackson Joyce, Juliana Barton + Sophi Miyoko Gullbrants. The set-up and approach mirrored what I aim to foster: a place where curiosity outweighs pressure.
We kept it simple, bringing hand-selected beads, fabrics, and tools; Austin captured the quiet hum of focus and bustling bursts of laughter between stitches. Guests arrived to light bites + drinks, then settled in as I walked them through basics—how to thread a needle, secure beads, and trust the rhythm of the process.
