Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Ian Stevens

All my beadwork is done on brain-tanned and smoked buckskin sourced from one of my tribes in Fort Hall, Idaho. the beads used in more than 90 percent of my work is in size 13/0 cut Charlotte beads as well as size 13/0 24kt gold beads. All designs and patterns are a reflection of my northern ute and shoshone-bannock ancestry. With this in mind all my beadwork is made with intention and detail.
