You are invited to learn a loomless form of bead weaving in a small setting. In this 45-minute workshop, you will learn how to weave beads using the ‘peyote stitch’. We will weave in the round, and you will be able to create a large beaded-bead as a pendant for a necklace.

Elly is a lifelong, n-th generation textile maker, having learned to knit, crochet and sew from her mother and her Babci. As a child, she was steeped in math studies, puzzles, and pattern-making, and pursued a technical career across several industries and countries. Her art practice has developed in recent years to include study of classical drawing, painting, and art theory at the Art Students League and at the Goshen Art Academy in NYC, and she brings this art historical sensibility to bear in her bead weaving practice. She resides in Brooklyn, and her studio is in Long Island City.

Work in Progress (TAC WIP) is a window into the studio practice of contemporary artists and designers that engages the public in a dialogue with the field of textiles.⁠

For one month, WIP residents develop and showcase their work and practice in TAC’s Brooklyn studio, located in Gowanus, a neighborhood with a thriving arts community. Residents receive a personal studio space and 24hr access to the Brooklyn studio, on top of a 30% adult classes discount, while being part of a community space inspired by a love and dedication for textiles. As part of the program, WIP residents host events, lectures, and workshops that relate to their practice for the community.
