Event Date:
October 15, 2016 - 4:00pm The Brewery Arts Center is proud to feature works by Carson City beadweaving artist, Suzy Musil. Through her art, Suzy creates necklaces, brooches, bracelets, whimsies, all available at the Artisan Shop inside the Brewery Arts Center.
Suzy’s addiction to the world of beads began with a trip to the Gem and Mineral Show, in Tucson Arizona. Upon her arrival a new world opened up; her inner magpie was captured by the myriad of bright, sparkly objects. She was determined to do something creative with all those gemstones and jewels.
After some trial and error, she discovered that her forte is beadweaving: the assemblage of wearable object d’art using beads, needle and thread. Each piece is created one bead at a time. This comes as no surprise, as her previous artistic ventures include a Bachelor of Science in Textile Design, designing one-of-a-kind fabric for a Los Angeles-based menswear firm, and creating custom garments for discerning clients.
With the transfer of the textile industry to countries overseas, Suzy went back to school and obtained a Master’s Degree in Computer Science. She has perfected her digital aptitude in the care and feeding of computers. She kept a hand in the textile arena sewing garments and creating mixed media artwork.
Suzy’s relocation to the Carson City area in 2012 opened an opportunity for the public to view and acquire her artwork. Lately she has been exploring geometric bead weaving, creating three dimensional designs which swirl, spike and swoop. She has a particular affinity for Day of the Dead, creating commemorative jewelry each year to celebrate the holiday.
Her goal for each creation is to bring a smile and sense of joy, taking the wearer on a journey of whimsy and delight. Jewelry offered at the Brewery Arts Center reflects her continued exploration of this wonderful genre. Suzy’s beadwork is also carried in museums in Nevada and Arizona, as well as private collections throughout the Southwest. New pieces are premiered on her blog: szmusil.wordpress.com.
Suzy will be available to and discuss her work on Saturday, October 15 from 4pm to 7pm at the Artisan Shop. This artist reception is free and open to the public The Brewery Arts Center’s Artisan Shop is located at 449 West King Street in Carson City on the corner of King and Division Streets.
