Hannah Rosner Designs & Good River Gallery – Jewelry Beads and Tutorials

 ABOUT GOOD RIVER GALLERY &  HANNAH ~

I hold a BFA in scenic design and English literature from Swarthmore College and a Master’s Degree in scenic and costume design from The Ohio State University, but my true love is beading and beadmaking. I taught design for 5 years at the Art Institutes International – both at their Pittsburgh and Chicago campuses. I was a Starman Beads Trendsetter for 8 years, am a Toho Ambassador and have taken part in 12 Toho Bead Challenges as either a featured designer or minichallenger. I placed 3rd in the Glass Craft Expo jewelry show in 2009 and have been a finalist twice in the Bead & Button Bead Dreams Competition. I’ve taken part in 4 Battles of the Beadsmiths and have taught across the country at bead stores, shows and societies.
