Great Lakes Beadworkers Guild


Thank you for checking us out!

Welcome to the Great Lakes Beadworkers Guild (GLBG), where beads are more than just objects with a hole, but highly suspect of having individual personalities.

Founded in 1992 in Royal Oak, Michigan, we are a non-profit organization of about 300 members in Southeast Michigan who meet at least monthly in meetings and classes to learn more about all aspects of beadwork.

We will soon start looking for volunters to join us at the Maker Faire 2013 at the Henry in Dearborn the weekend of July 27-28! This is a great promotion for the guild - Sharon Wagner will be looking for help for set-up for July 26, and to attend on July 27 and 28. Let her know if you are interested.

Join us twice a year for our always popular bead show, the Bead Bonanza, a one-day bead show and sale to keep bead coffers in the area well filled. With 50 (or more vendors) in one location, the Bead Bonanza is open to the public and is a great day for bead lovers everywhere to gather, gaze, and purchase.

At the monthly meetings, we have a lending library where GLBG members may borrow books and bead-related videos.
