NZGBA – New Zealand Glass Bead Artists

Click here to see what their visit to the Born to Bead studio

We had the monthly Beads of Courage open studio this last weekend and it was very very special. Little Bianca came around to see the studio and see how we make the beads she’s collected. I recognised one bead from us so that was special to actually see a bead we had created be chosen by Bianca. her family would like to thank all the artists and has created a post on their blog with photos, have a look it was awesome fun. We got given flowers and chocolates, and big hugs and kisses from both Bianca and her sister, Caitlyn. Caitlyn got to ride on dad’s shoulders through the studio while Bianca tried on her glasses. Helen gave a fabulous demonstration and we had a number fo keen volunteers in to clean and package beads. we have added 70 new beads to the program so thank you very much everyone for your kind donation of time and glass.
