BEAD DATING: Making friends and sharing a love of beads
Are you a bead maker or have you ever been curious about beads? Here’s your chance to learn, laugh and ask questions with some of the most established beadmakers today. Join the ISGB for this fun filled educational event sharing skills across disciplines and creating new opportunities to use in your own work.
This event is about sharing a love of glass and in particular about beads and the techniques involved in creating the individual piece in each person’s hand. The person opposite you might be an old friend or a new connection in the making. Open to all.
How it works!
- Bring a bead of your choice or borrow a bead from the bowl at the entrance.
- Hold the bead and ask anything - technique, colors or about the artist!
- Each participant will have 2 minutes to share the techniques used in their piece. Real or imagined.
- When you hear the buzzer time to meet the next in line.
Sign up by May 25, 2026 to secure your spot! NO beadmaking experience necessary. Just a love of Glass and willingness to meet new glassy friends. It will be a great opportunity to mingle and ask questions too!
