2018 Bead Challenge

Our 2018 Challenge focused on a nickel and purple theme, with chain elements, two hole beads and hematite round beads.

Bead Challenge entrants, both members and general public, used these beads as a basis for their designs.

The pieces were judged by our International Tutor, Liisa Turunen, and by public vote.

BSV Library

The Bead Society has a large Library of book, magazines, and other miscellaneous items such as booklets and DVDs.

These can be borrowed in person from the Carnegie meeting.

Below is a listing of all the items we have in the library. We are working to clean up the list and make it easier to use.

Click on the link and it will open a PDF document listing all the items. It may open in your browser, download it or even open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The latter is the best to use, so that you can use the search function. eg, search 'Sabine' to look for books by Sabine Lippert.

The list will be updated every few months, so do check back for the current version.

We welcome feedback on this listing. Please email us.
