Welcome to our blog, where we will feature our beadwork and original designs and share announcements about our upcoming workshops and publications. We will also write about beads and bead weaving and share helpful bead-weaving tips.
We teamed up to teach bead weaving at the Princeton Adult School in 2011 and continue to offer our six-week class every Fall and Spring. Designing original beadwork jewelry projects to teach our classes has been a steady source of creative inspiration, resulting in our designs for beginner, intermediate, and advanced beaders.
We both have prior teaching experience (in more academic subjects) at the nearby Ivy League university. We strive to offer students in our classes and workshops excellence in teaching, elegance in design, innovation in our use of materials, and a positive "you can do it!" attitude.
Whether working out the elements of a new design or the details of our clearly written instructions, we have found that two heads are better than one. And because we are passionate about beading, we also think that Two Beads Are Better Than One!
