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.
Don't forget the May 12th meeting of the guild - Chrisi Friesen will be our guest artist.
UPDATE!!! May 2009! Don't forget to click here for an exciting exhibit opportunity at the BBAC and also a collaboration with Glass Act!
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. Teachers for 2009 include: Dallas Lovett, Jeanette Cook, Kate McKinnon, Gail Crosman Moore, Barb Switzer, Christ Friesen, Jean Campbell, Teresa Sullivan and Jo Wood
At the monthly meetings, GLBG members may borrow books and bead-related videos from the Guild Library.
Visitors may attend one meeting prior to joining. Come visit with us and become a GLBG member!
