Bead Events Hosted by Heather Powers

Hello dear ABS readers! Heather here, your bead-obsessed editor with news of two events that I’m hosting that I just had to share with you today.

First up is that general registration for Bead Cruise 2015 is opening up on May 8th. This is our 10th anniversary sailing.  This is a dream vacation filled with bead classes, bead parties, make-and-takes, design contests, a costume cocktail party and much more!

Our 2015 sailing is February 15th from Ft. Lauderdale, FL heading to St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan and a private island called Labadee.  Yeah, a day on a private island.  It’s paradise!

Pictured above is one of the classes that I’m teaching. Classes include metalwork, wirework, beading, stringing, bead embroidery, felting and polymer clay – something for everyone! Instructors include myself, Tracy Stanley, Beki Haley, Shelley Nybakke, Beverly Herman and Erin Siegel.

Beverly Herman is teaching the Star of the Sea necklace that features a ceramic cabochon from from Suburban Girl Beads.

Erin Siegel, co-author of Bohemian-Inspired Jewelry and former ABS contributor, is a guest instructor and will be teaching this fun and trendy tribal inspired knotting class.

We sold half our spaces yesterday during our early bird registration (for past cruisers) so head on over to the website and see if this is something you need to add to your travel plans for next year. If this has been on your bucket list, 2015 is the year to go! 

The next event is a little closer to home, in fact – right on your computer screen. I’m hosting my first online workshop on June 16th – July 7th. We’ll explore color and polymer clay to make amazing beads. 

It’s a four week class to learn color theory and how to create simple to complex cane designs, leading up to making this spectacular Van Gogh’s Sunflower cane. You can read the details and sign up here.

    I so want to be on the cruise! And I know for a fact that your online class will ROCK! I have taken an in-person class and it is chock full of great information. If you are on the fence about that one, get off it and sign up! Enjoy the day. Erin
