Programs
Kumihimo - November Free Workshop Night
The Baltimore Bead Society's monthly meetings feature a program with a visiting artist or speaker after a short business meeting. Our programs offer members an opportunity to meet and learn from well-known, leading artists in beading and jewelry fields from all over the U.S.
Other programs may be a free night of instruction on several basic topics such as beading stitches and finishing techniques, a social event such as a holiday party, or an introduction to a vendor from the area selling beads, supplies, or jewelry.
For more information, contact the Programs Coordinator at programs@baltobead.org.
We are very enthusiastic about our wonderful upcoming 2009-2010 programs beginning in September. Hope you can join us!
