Betsy Hershberg
Betsy Hershberg is a jewelry maker, knitting designer, instructor, and published author based in Philadelphia. Using fine threads and tiny needles, she hand-knits sculptural, bead knitted jewelry and accessories, with a focus on one-of-a-kind pieces. Though rooted in traditional knitted stitch making, her work is distinguished by original techniques, unorthodox construction, bead-woven embellishment, and unique, contemporary applications, resulting in what the artist calls “knitting made clever.”
