Nancy Eha was
reportedly born with a needle in her hand. After
exploring nearly every needle art, she began experimenting with beads after a chance
encounter at her home state’s number one #1 tourist attraction, The Mall of America.
Spending countless hours over many years asking creativity stretching “What if?”
questions of beads, she continues to develop new innovative beading techniques and create
magical works of art.
As an internationally recognized
artist, teacher, and author; Nancy shares her knowledge, passion, and pleasure for the
subject of beading with others. She has written articles or has been featured in scores of
magazines and books world-wide. Numerous
awards for her ground-breaking beadwork and stellar teaching abilities include a grant
from the Minnesota State Arts Board, and a teaching scholarship to attend the European
Patchwork and Quilt Expo in Strasbourg, France.
In high demand as an instructor, Nancy
makes learning fun, encourages confidence in students of all skill levels, and makes the
seemingly complex easy to understand via small teachable steps. As she travels to present lectures and workshops, Nancy
is inspired by those she meets and in continual awe of what can be created by hand and
needle.
A life-long resident of Minnesota, Nancy
currently resides in the scenic St. Croix River Valley near the historic town of Stillwater,
Minnesota.
Nancy is a talented and outstanding
contemporary beader. I truly envy her beading/sewing gusto.Bette R,Broomfield,CO |
