An evening workshop of looking, making, and creative experimentation where participants use associative beading to create their own one-of-a-kind beaded necklace. It is led by curator and jewelry designer Renée Riccardo and draws inspiration from the exhibition Jessica Lichtenstein: Rewilding, translating its materials, colors, and interpretations of the natural world into wearable design. Riccardo, born and raised in New York, has a career spanning more than four decades as an independent curator, art advisor, jewelry designer, and lecturer, and creates one-of-a-kind jewelry through her line ARENAgal.
