UK beaders?

Well, at some point you will be able to go to

for info, but don't look yet cos it's a complete mess and still needs a lot of work doing on it! I need to figure out exactly how it'll work and then there's a script I need to buy & install... then a load of content to add... I'll post here (and various other places) when it's ready to launch.

I have a couple of suggestions; one is to go to the

forum, and ask for information there. The other is to got to ebay.co.uk and search lampwork beads, then email some sellers and ask them if they know of anyone in your area who teaches.

I typed "glass bead making " in and came up with these two sites that may help.

Here is another place that I visited a couple of years ago to buy some beads. I had met the owner when he had a stall at a craft show where I did a demo. There are no classes advertised but when I was there they did say I could go and learn to make beads

Thanks for the link.

It's always so much better to get direct info from people who know. Sometimes a person can surf for weeks before hitting the right site.

Thanks very much for the links.

I know Diana East does classes

and there is Glass Beadmakers UK they list courses on their website and downstairs I have a leaflet on a fair of glass beadmakers, will post details later if you'd like them Cheers Amanda Nottingham PS e-mail address is spam trapped

Yes, please. I think a fair would get the husband inspired.

He's already surfing for sites, which is a Good Thing.

Have fun Amanda

It's funny, Stourbridge is accessible for us by boat, but not that late in the season! It takes us four days to get the 27 miles from Manchester to our home mooring and we have to be back for the start of school in September so taking the boat's out. At least we drive down and have a day out to Stourbridge though. I'm very excited about getting to a bead show, it will help my husband to be able to see the work in hand rather than pictures.

I have it on the calendar now, we'll be there unless something happens to keep us from travelling.

The links are very helpful and much appreciated.
