Horizon ChurchLoom Beadwork Demonstration
A live loom beadwork demonstration presented by Joy Tonepahhote coincides with the grand opening of a new exhibit titled Native American Beadwork. The program offers an up close look at a decorative tradition that followed quillwork, highlighting how bead artistry flourished as seed beads became available and new techniques emerged through the creativity of Native women. Tonepahhote is a contemporary beadworker from the Kiowa Tribe in Anadarko, Oklahoma, and is Guaymi Maya from Conquito, Panama. She carries a Southern Plains family legacy, with her grandmother, Massalena Ahtone, among the notable artists in that tradition. Her practice brings together Plains cultural symbols with elements of U.S. popular culture and varied materials. Guided by experience in social service, she focuses on creating affordable pieces for Native people, including personal adornment and powwow regalia. Her work has been featured at institutions such as the Smithsonian’s Hayes Center and the Indian City USA Cultural Center, and it is on view at the Museum of Indian Culture. The demonstration offers insight into technique, history, and the living artistry of loom beadwork.
