When she was a little girl, Erika Hanner became enamored by the art world, exposed to various aspects of it by her parents. As she grew older, that love of art blossomed as well. When it came time to choose a major in college, she couldn’t resist following her heart. “Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, I was pretty close to some really impressive art, and my parents always made sure to take me to museums and expose me to the art culture,” Hanner said. “When I got to college, I had no idea what I wanted to major in, because at the time Erika Hanner has been in her position as I didn’t even know that Art History was an actual major. executive director of the Lubeznik Center Continued on Page 2 for the Arts since Dec. 15.

  • Bead Crochet Bracelets: What Would Escher Do?
    Bridges 2012: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture Bead Crochet Bracelets: What Would Escher Do? Ellie Baker Lexington, MA 02421, USA E-mail: [email protected] Susan Goldstine* Department of Mathematics and Computer Science St. Mary’s College of Maryland 18952 E. Fisher Rd St. Mary’s City, MD 20686, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The popular handcraft of bead crochet produces elegant toroidal bracelets that are visually appealing and easy to wear. Designing bead crochet patterns is surprisingly challenging because of the arrangement of beads into a continuous spiral around the torus. In this paper, we present bracelets that we have designed in the style of M.C. Escher’s tessellations. Each bracelet pattern consists of interlocking copies of a single shape, and we include patterns designed using a powerful new technique for extracting bracelet patterns from planar tilings, along with strategies for creating more patterns. Our Design Challenge Bead crochet is an increasingly popular craft, and bead crochet rope bracelets (shown below in Figures 2, 3, 7, and 11) are particularly elegant in their seamless construction. However, creating symmetric color patterns on bead crochet bracelets is uniquely challenging among bead crafts because of the particular geometry of the beaded surface, as described in the following section. As a result, many existing patterns are based on a few simple known motifs derived from one or two well‐understood flat pattern layouts. The bracelets presented here stem from a design challenge we set ourselves inspired by the tessellation artwork of M.C. Escher, who adapted his own designs from planes to spheres, polyhedra, and cylinders.

  • Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms
    Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms A jewellery glossary of beading terms and jewellery making terminology combining clear images with easy to understand dictionary like definitions. This bead glossary also provides links to more in depth content and bead resources. It can be used as a beading A to Z reference guide to dip into as needed, or as a beading and jewellery glossary for beginners to help broaden beading and jewellery making knowledge. It is particularly effective when used alongside our Beading Guides, Histories, Theories and Tutorials, or in conjunction with our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary and Venetian Glass Making Glossary. A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone. ACCENT BEAD Similar in purpose to a Focal Bead, this is a bead that forms the focus for a piece of jewellery, but on this occasion rather then through its size, it is usually through contrast.
