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, Mi, 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.

Twice a year we sponsor the Bead Bonanza, a one-day bead show and sale to keep bead coffers in the area well filled. The Bead Bonanza is open to the public and is a great day for bead lovers everywhere to gather, gaze, and purchase.

Members of the GLBG receive a bi-monthly newsletter, The Beader Reader" with news of upcoming programs and classes. Members also get priority in registrations for workshops with visiting, nationally known instructors. For a peak at our newsletter, here is a teaser to look at: Mini Beader Reader. For a look at our line-up of wonderful classes for 2010, please visit our Guild Event Calendar page (above).

At the monthly meetings, GLBG members may borrow books and bead-related videos from the Guild Library.

For information on our meeting location, please click on the "Meeting and Location Info" button above.
