About

The International Society of Glass Beadmakers is the leading organization for the promotion, education, and appreciation of the art of glass beadmaking for wearable, sculptural, and functional art, and Fire and Rain is the local chapter.

We'll have a bead challenge and a bead swap! This months challenge is stringers. Make one or more beads using stringers, and bring samples to show. Well vote on the best beads and a prize will be awarded for the bead(s) with the most votes. Bring a bead to swap (ideally in a plain brown paper bag) and you'll get a bead from another member.
