Sharing appreciation, enjoyment, & knowledge for the art of beading

Southern Colorado Bead Society is a not-for-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. We are dedicated to the study, discussion and exchange of information about beads and beadwork and to share our knowledge through educational programs, workshops, a newsletter and website.
