Based in Mödling, Austria, Katharina Eder has devoted her career to working with glass beads. She focuses on traditional Viennese approaches to the craft, using crochet needles, polyester threads, and antique glass beads to create unique, experimental jewelry. Her work emphasizes clear structures and shapes that are wearable in everyday situations, with thread playing a significant role in defining the overall design. While thread is usually concealed in traditional jewelry, Eder makes it a central element of her work, resulting in more vivid, contrasting colors and transforming traditional jewelry into modern pieces.
