Welcome to International Beading Week - The Natural World 2025. We welcome all beaders to the first of twelve FREE online events to celebrate IBW.
You don't need to be a member of The Beadworkers Guild to enjoy everything on offer this coming week, just an enthusiastic beader, so why not invite a friend to join you?
We kick off IBW 2025 with a welcome to new and existing beady friends, as we celebrate the wonderful world around us and how it inspires so much of our beadwork - today's theme being the oceans that surround us.
We also welcome back IBW Ambassador and designer Catriona Starpins, who will be talking us through the design life cycle with a Q&A at the end of it - a great chance to ask any design queries you may have.
You don't need to be a member of The Beadworkers Guild to take part in this event, just a bead enthusiast, and bookings must be made 48 hours (UK time) prior to this event to ensure you receive your log on details in time.
