There is no one-size-fits-all approach to beading. Each beadworker has a style and taste all their own. And for one whole week - during International Beading Week, July 28th to August 5th - beadworkers across the globe unite to celebrate one passion: beads.
Previously referred to as National Beading Week, this week has grown into a worldwide event of massive beading proportions over the years, making its new accolade of International Beading Week that much more appropriate!
While International Beading Week is sponsored by UK-based The Beadworkers Guild, the goal of this week is to view beading in a global mindset and bring beaders together. Whether you're at the beginner's level or a pro in the workshop, International Beading Week pays tribute to the passion that is at the heart of the beading community.
For those of us who don't know much about beading, International Beading Week presents an opportunity to learn more about beading and participate in beading in local areas, as well as support local beading shops and traders - because the craft wouldn't get very far without those who source our quality supplies!
