Beaded Opulence book Sensational Bead Embroidery Bead Riffs

Join us in beautiful San Francisco for Beading by the Bay. Learn new off-loom seed bead techniques,
create beautiful jewelry, and relax the weekend away with accomplished instructors.
This year all three instructors are authors of Lark beadweaving master class books shown above.
Marcia DeCoster (Aelia), Sherry Serafini (Asis) and Rachel Nelson-Smith (Atlas)

The third Beading by the Bay Retreat is three days of beadweaving instruction from three of the premier bead artists in the country. Each instructor has prepared an original day-long workshop designed not only to leave you with a beautiful piece of wearable art, but also to take your beadweaving skills to the next level. The retreat begins at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 8, with our Meet the Teachers Reception sponsored by Swarovski Elements. Get to know your instructors and fellow attendees in an informal setting. You'll spend each of the next three days with a different artist instructor and have your nights free to enjoy the best of Bay Area dining, shopping and theatre. If you have additional questions, or want to be added to the Beading by the Bay Retreat mailing list, please click below.
