Patrick Pope: Reception

A collection of Beadwork by Social Artist and Craftsman Patrick Pope.

Reception, June 20, 2026, from 1-3 PM at the Tin Ceiling Gallery.

Patrick Pope: "My Art is about prayer and meditation; I began bead work over 25 years ago at a time when I was very sick at heart & overwhelmed by life in general. I could not work a "normal" job. I treat every bead as a prayer. Bead by bead, prayer by prayer. Over time you can create something extraordinary, spiritual, even sacred. Over time you can learn to heal! Today I still feel compelled to create different things, but my greatest joy is custom work. When someone asks me to "create something" it becomes a partnership, it becomes a journey lasting a week, a month, a decade, even a lifetime. Bead by bead, prayer by prayer, something extraordinary happens. Life is good!"
