Versatility, innovation, inspiration—that’s what The Masters
series offers crafters, with an engaging and up-to-date survey of the
finest contemporary work by approximately 40 leading artists in
specific media. Beadweaving takes the spotlight here, and readers will
find the showcased pieces eye-opening in their originality. Each
highlighted master takes center stage in an informative eight-page
feature that includes nearly a dozen gorgeous, high-quality photos and
a short essay by the curator placing the impressive work and its
creator in context. These outstandingly talented and imaginative
artists include Valerie Hector, whose beaded designs are a statement in
bold modernity; Jeanette Ahlgren, who fashions intricate loom-woven
vessels with subtle gradations in color and graphic, geometric
patterns; and Marcia DeCoster, who uses her right angle weave
techniques to create shimmering jewelry in rich jewel tones. Beadweaver and author Carol Wilcox Wells served as the juror of this remarkable collection.
