We are grateful to Bill and Sue Acworth for again offering us an excellent venue at Little Hidden Farm near Hungerford to hold our 2011 Bead Society Bursary workshop, which will take the form of a demonstration and exhibit.

We will again invite Paul Amponsah, a beadmaker from Ghana (and a Bead Society member) to run a one-day beadmaking demonstration for Bead Society members. Paul makes 'lost wax' cast brass beads in the Ghanaian traditional manner. He is a well known beadmaker who sells his items via eShopAfrica online at www.eshopafrica.com/about/index.htm.

Members may be able to do a limited number of tasks but will not be able to make their own beads.

Put this date in your diary now, more details to follow.
