Bead Challenge - Beside the Sea
The winning entry
by Diana East
The challenge was set to all members of GBUK.
The challenge was to design a focal bead, or set of beads or a piece of jewellery incorporating at least one of their lampworked beads on the theme of Beside the Sea.
These works of art were on display at the fair and also here to view on this website. Some of these beads may feature in a new publication by Lark Books '500 Necklaces'. Several of you may have seen their previous publication '1000 Glass Beads' which features work by some of the glass artists who exhibited at our fair.
