I know there are many bead artists teaching on Zoom. The Zoom option is making it possible to take a class from talented artists all over the world! Just deal with a little time difference and you are good to go! Your favorite designer is in England? No problem. Wonderful options abound. I hope and believe that this online option will continue. I hope it slows somewhat and we can get back together but it has brought a wonderful new media to the bead world. I hope you agree. My next class with SocialBeadia is Split Personality. It is one of my favorites. Register at the link soon, not much time left before the cut off due to shipping time. https://www.socialbeadia.com/marcia-balonis
IN PERSON at The Beaded Garden in Oxford, FL (near The Villages). There are several classes on the schedule now. My favorite is "One Moon Circles", yes a Star Trek TNG reference. August 20, 2021. More information on side bar. https://www.thebeadedgarden2.com/classes
And I'm excited to be getting ready for two in person bead retreats. October 21-24, 2021 is the Bead Society of the Palm Beaches. Link on side bar. November 5-7 is the Arkansas Bead Retreat. More information coming on that one. There is a Facebook page of that name you can join now.
In addition, at The Beaded Garden, we are planning a mini weekend in January 2021 featuring 3 different artists. I will be doing an expanded necklace version of One Moon Circles. Pamela Garbig is still dreaming something up but I'm guessing it will be ocean related AND we will soon announce a guest instructor for the 3rd day. As soon as we firm up the details look for an announcement!
