Inspiration
I will talk about how my work has developed over the years and what it
is that inspires me, and about what I think inspiration might be and how
we all use this inspiration within our own work and lives.
I think inspiration is one of the strongest life forces and will offer
a few suggestions on how to make inspiration flow, the
things that work for me might just work for you.
Needle-crafts first caught my attention when I was a child growing up in a small town in
Holland. Encouraged by my Mom, Grandma and the local needlecraft store owner, I picked up
crochet, knitting, tatting, bobbin lace and embroidery with ease.
In 1995 I moved from Holland to San Francisco, and opened a small arts and crafts workshop and
gallery on Nob Hill. Inspired by a chance encounter with 19th century Russian bead work, I discovered
the beauty and challenges of designing with beads.
I have been working full time as a bead artist and teacher since 1998, and I am still challenged and
inspired by the possibilities of this medium.
You can see more of my work and track my classes and shows
at www.petersenarts.com or search "Huib Petersen" on Facebook.

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.
