Welcome to International Beading Week (IBW) 2026 - Emblems.
As this is our first session of the week, we will give you a run down of what is happening this year, explain how you can get more involved in the celebrations and what spot prizes and special offers are available.
We have a great line up of designers and traders for you to meet and to kick start this year's event, Australian designer Paula Gething, will be joining us to talk about her Starglass Necklace design and how stars work in beading, including the history of them as emblems.
You don't need to be a member of The Beadworkers Guild to enjoy this event, just an enthusiastic beader, so why not invite a friend to join you?
Bookings must be made 48 hours (UK time) prior to this event to ensure you receive your log on details in time.
