The Bead Society of Great Britain, (formed in September 1989), is a subscription-based, non-profitmaking, non-commercial venture run by a permanent Team who work voluntarily.
The Society is open to all those who have an appreciation, either private or professional, of beads ancient and modern, of all shapes, sizes, materials and colours; their techniques of manufacture, and their application.
Members receive four issues per year of the highly-acclaimed Bead Society Newsletter, a colourful and informative journal packed with articles (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter editions).
Autumn Special Offer - until end of March 2010!
6 Newsletters - 2 for this year (Autumn and Winter 2009) and all 4 for next year (Spring to Winter 2010). Click here for more details and an application form.
The Society currently holds four-five meetings each year - two-three lectures/workshops, an AGM and a Bead Fair. We have a varied programme of courses, lectures and meetings, most are FREE to members. Members also receive FREE admission to the Society's Annual Bead Fair, and discounted entry to fairs organised by the Craft Kit Company Ltd. For more details vist the Beadwork Fair website.
The Society numbers among its members private collectors, researchers, dealers, jewellery makers, bead embroiderers, beadwork weavers (on- and off-loom), makers of beads, and many others - so there's a place for everyone! |
