Instructor
Joyce Ryan has a BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in Graphic Design from Washington University. Her work has been featured in Showcase 500 Beaded Jewelry: Photographs of Beautiful Contemporary Beadwork. Her bead work was inspired by the colors on the feathers of parrots she worked with at a rescue. As they bathed, water droplets would bead up on their feathers and sparkle in the sun like thousands of tiny colored lights. The closest she could get to replicating those colors and textures were with BEADS!
