Great Lakes Beadworkers Guild Member Daze Workshop Application information

Member Daze - By Us, For Us!

Here’s something NEW -- "MEMBER DAZE…by Us, for Us".

This is our opportunity to have classes “by us, for us.” It’s a new opportunity for all LOCAL GLBG artists to teach their designs during a four day bead fest May 21-24, 2008.

Hey! Member Daze are almost here! There are so many talented women in our Guild and these classes are so amazing. The Guild is all about education --bringing in teachers, helping us buy books, and now encouraging local teachers by bringing the “market” to them. How great to get to take classes from our friends! So check out the classes below, see photos and registration form in the March/April 2008 issue of the Beader Reader. Stock up on some beading ideas before the summer hits and you don’t have time to take a class.
