Ellie Braun
A World Beyond: Reconstructing Our Reality
Pinney Studio Residency
April 15 - October 15, 2025
A World Beyond offers opportunities to connect with others, create community and thus change our individual and collective realities, expand our knowledge and our imaginations. On Thursday evenings from 6-8 pm, Ellie facilitates an art & community connection space for adults and teens (16+), together building a cozy, creative, encouraging environment each week.
Bring along a personal creative project-in-progress, reconstruct and refine your creation, or start something completely new in community with other makers. Light assistance, nurturing artistic experimentation, and developing your creative practice(s) will be encouraged among attendees with an emphasis on textiles, fiber and stitching, jewelry making, beading, and drawing.

“In many non-Western cultures, color and pattern are used to communicate culture and celebration. The folk art of these cultures, made by the people for the people, creates symbolism and visuals that connect to the environment that surrounds them. Many of these works are hand-crafted, honest, and representative of the human experience.
Much of my work comes from the influence of folk art. Grottos, shrines, and textiles serve as main inspirations. Through extensive exploration and trial-and-error, I have created my own protectors, manifestations, and representation of my environment in my work. I utilize colored pencil, gouache, and hand-painted ceramics to create my pieces.”
