10/28/2023

0 Comments

 

​The November meeting of the Bead Society will focus on Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. This Grants Pass, Oregon company has been a favorite among Bead Society members for many years. Their catalogs are famous for being kept for years because of pictures of finished jewelry and projects one could attempt!  In addition to all their gems, beads, findings, etc., they also have useful educational materials!

In lieu of a speaker, we will be exploring the FMG website and pointing out treasures and "gems" in more meanings than one. In particular, they have a very nice LEARN section on their website with tutorials, and patterns and step by step instructions!

Zoom Meeting ID: 899 883 2615, Passcode: Beads 
All are welcome! ​Join us!
