Caren Cohen has been beading for over 30 and collecting beads since the 1970s . She’s experienced in bead embroidery, off loom and loom techniques. I’ve taught shibori ribbon with bead embroidery, Dorset buttons, and ribbon flowers and leaves at the Guild. Spirals are my signature.

I've always loved creating. As a child it was macrame, beading, crewel, rug hooking, and more. As a teenager it was copper enameling. In college I explored weaving and other fiber techniques such as basketry and spinning. When I had my daughter in 1988 it became cumbersome to weave so I was hooked back into beading again. I started with beaded brick stitch earrings and went on to combine beads with weaving. From there I began to explore more complex and varied bead techniques.
