Bead Club night at Artisian’s Workshop, Griffith, IN (Northwest Indiana)

Last evening (Tuesday, April 21st) was the monthly Bead Club meeting at Sue Wade’s Artisian’s Workshop in Griffith. I have been coming to these meetings for less than a year; I have no idea why I didn’t know about it sooner. You’d think someone who has been beading as long as I have would be more “plugged-in”… ha. I’m happy to say that I am participating more and feeling welcome amongst many different bead enthusiasts. I will start taking pictures and posting them here from both the bead club nights and the classes.
I talked with Therese & Patsy about bead crochet, and found out Therese sells her other work at craft shows. Patsy doesn’t sell the jewelry she makes, she just enjoys learning new techniques, mastering them and then learning more.
I will post pictures of my Intermediate Crochet Class’ projects next week. So many ladies are taking the 2nd step in their Bead Crocheting – it’s exciting to me to share this technique with them and I love teaching.
I have to say, I did tell Sue that her classes were my first teaching beadwork… I’ve taught before so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but I was very nervous the first class, not too much the second. I figure I’ll be really ready for Bead Fest in August & September.
