General Membership Monthly Meetings

This is our monthly event. We have a very active membership who attend our meetings.

Generally, every month we have a speaker complete with a slide show representing their work or the story they are telling. The topics might be marvelous lampworked beads and the artist who made them or how seed beads are made in the Czech Republic. We might hear from seed bead artists who use those little bitty beads to make fabulous necklaces or sculptural pieces. We might see a slide show about the families who make Hill Tribe Silver in Thailand. Around the holidays we have a potluck and make earrings to give to a women's shelter. Very diverse subjects for a very diverse group of folks who enjoy, like, or love beads.

Each month we feature one of our member artists. This is a treat and frequently the surprise of the night. You didn't know the person sitting next to you was such an accomplished bead worker. You may be asked to step up to the podium one month, or better yet volunteer.

Be sure to CLICK HERE for all the meeting details.

The meeting starts at 6:30 pm. We are always happy to see new faces, so please come join us.
