Welcome!
The Bead Society of Central Florida has been a part of the area's arts and crafts community for 20 years. When the Bead Society was first organized in 1988, it was one of only 15 such groups in the country. We meet once a month to learn from each other and from invited guest presenters, and to share our enthusiasm for the wonderful world of beads. At our meetings we have presentations about the history of beads and bead art, information about beading materials and tools, and instruction on the crafting of beads into wearable art. Meetings are an opportunity to share our latest creations, design ideas, and construction techniques with each other.
Enjoy visiting our web site, and plan to join us at a meeting!
Can Constructon Project
The Bead Society donated $250 to the Can
Construction project. The project was to build a village and our
money went towards the building of the village court house.
The court house won “The Jury Is Still Out" award.
