Master Beader Program

   Attend Our Master Beader Open House August 28, 2010 from 3:00 – 5:00 PM

 The Master Beader Program (MBP) is an innovative and adaptable beading  instruction program structured around three increasingly skilled levels:

 The Apprentice level will teach the new beader those fundamental skills  needed  regardless of what type of beading you pursue. You will learn the  basics of stringing,  knotting, how to use findings, how to choose materials,  as well as the basics of color  and design. You will also have an opportunity  to explore various beading and  bead- related techniques. Try your hand at  peyote, herringbone (Ndebele), right angle  weave, loom weaving, bead  netting, chain maille, or any other technique that appeals  to you. This level  is designed to kindle your passion for beading! master beader

 As a Journeyman you will develop expertise  in the techniques you learned as an  Apprentice by  experimenting with  technique variations and  working on  increasingly complex projects. You  will also  be encouraged to explore some new  technique or experiment with another  bead- related medium such as wirework,  polymer  clay, precious metal clay, or  felting.

 At the Master level you will demonstrate  your  mastery of the craft. You will also  select  advanced experiences from a  variety of choices  such as:

  • Designing and teaching your own class
  • Research into the beading style of some historic period that you find intriguing
  • Designing and creating a piece for juried review
  • Writing an article to submit for publication in a print or online forum

  • A detailed program guide
  • Progress logs
  • Expert mentoring
  • Help locating beading resources and instruction
  • Regular MBP get-togethers
  • A Master Beader Program Journal to record your journey
