ABOUT THE INSTUCTOR
Rosemary (Rosie) Rickard Hill is a Tuscarora beadwork artist from the Tuscarora Reservation.
Rosie learned to do beadwork from her mother, Margaret Rickard and great aunt, Gertrude Chew: by the age of seven, she began to learn flat beadwork, and around the age of ten, raised beadwork. Some of her earliest memories of selling beadwork at Prospect Park with her mother, grandmother and great-aunt involve traversing the then-newly installed Robert Moses Parkway (and its medians) with all of their tables and materials.
Rosemary has been teaching for over 30 years. She is passionate in preserving, collecting, and interpreting historic Tuscarora patterns and motifs and ensuring knowledge of them remains or re-enters the community. Her beadwork is based on her family’s beading techniques and traditions, and has been exhibited in numerous museums and at the Santa Fe Indian Market.
Tuscarora Raised Bead Workshops with Rosemary Hill are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
