Jona Bednjanec je mlada oblikovalka pletenin, ki oblikuje pod istoimensko znamko Jona Bednjanec. Pletenine so oblikovane in izdelane v Sloveniji, sama oblikuje pletenine ročno ali na svojem pletilnem stroju. Redno sodeluje z lokalno proizvodnjo pletenin, tako ohranja kvaliteto izdelave in s tem tudi izvor izdelka, ki je v celoti izdelan lokalno. Pletenju na pletilniku za domačo uporabo pa daje, svežo sodobnejšo noto privlačno tudi za širše občinstvo. Preje, ki so uporabljene, so največkrat ostanki iz lokalne proizvodnje pletenin, s tem so oblikovane unikatne neponovljive barvne kombinacije. Svoje delo predstavlja tako na domačem kot na tujem trgu. Njen glavni medij oblikovanja je pletenje, skozi katerega se likovno izraža preko barv in vzorcev, ter tehnologije pletenja. Njeno delo predstavljajo tako kolekcije pletenin kot posebni umetniški projekti in sodelovanja z različnimi slovenskimi mladimi umetniki in kolektivi.
