Category: National Beading Week Blog
My National Beading Week blog is the place to find out about the offers and events I run for National Beading Week each year.
What can I find on the National Beading Week blog?
You’ll see all the posts that refer to NBW events each year, going back to 2016.
NBW takes place during the first week in August every year. It began in the UK – the brainchild of the Bead Worker’s Guild – but has spread worldwide. So, it has become the biggest annual celebration of beading throughout the world.
Every year, I try and host something to help new people discover beading. And also to invite existing beaders to celebrate their craft.
So, I have given away free patterns. I have also hosted free beadalongs. And then there are the competitions…
Basically, there’s lots of fun to join in. So, make sure you keep an eye on the National Beading Week blog to find out what will happen this year.
