Brand new design for a 2-day workshop with Cindy Holsclaw.
Stitch your own terrarium all out of beads! A terrarium is a miniature garden all contained in a small vessel that can sit on your desk or shelf. In this two day workshop, we'll explore how to construct our own ornamental terrariums, and you'll learn how to fill them with your own little slice of beaded nature. Decorate them with tiny flowers, miniature succulents, or etched lotus crystals for the look of a sparkly geode. Several variations are possible, including terrariums of different shapes and sizes, and the components in this piece can be adapted into wearable jewelry too. All students will receive the instructions for all projects shown.

We've been very busy here at SocialBeadia planning events that will have a somewhat different format than you are used to. In addition to our retreats and travel events, we will be hosting frequent weekend workshops (Mini Retreats) taught by one of your favorite designers.
These events are not full blown retreats but more than what you will experience in a one day class. Some will be intensive design and technique workshops taught by the Masters, while others will focus on a new or unique jewelry making medium or other bead related art taught by new and/or upcoming artists.
These events are designed to allow the attendee to determine whether they wish to just attend the workshop while commuting from home each day or making it a "retreat" like weekend away by choosing to stay at the host hotel. This approach puts you in charge of the overall cost of the event and for some will allow you to attend multiple events during the year. Each workshop weekend will include a catered lunch each day along with no host social and open beading time in the evenings.
Our first event was held over St Patrick's Day weekend with Erin Simonetti and we all had a fabulous time. Some of the events we are planning for 2018 are with Sherry Serafini, Eleanor Pigman, Erin Simonetti and Jacqui Higgins. Stay tuned for future announcements as registration opens for these events.
While we are focusing these events on the Northern New England beading communities, we welcome those from outside the area. Regardless of the event there will be wonderful people, great food and lots of beads. What more can you ask for? We hope to see you at one soon.
There are still a few seats available in the Old South Bead Retreat in the historic city of Savannah, GA. September 14-17, 2017. We are going to have so much fun. I hope you decide to join us.
