Every year in spring I either participate in Portland craft fair Gathering of the Guilds or visit it to see the exhibition and shop around.
In 2019 I was just a visitor and had more time to look around. In this video, I walked through the aisles of the Portland Bead Society section. This section of the show features artists who create jewelry with beads, and artists who make beads using different techniques.
Some vendors are my friends, and some are my suppliers. Some inspire me with their design ideas, and some inspire me with their business skills.
Walk with me to meet these people and see their creations.
