Bead Challenge

Our 9th Annual Bead Challenge in 2020 had wonderful participation from our beading community. A record 19 artists participated in the Bead Challenge, up from 17 last year. Each artist had a kit with common elements in them. Their challenge was to use at least one of each of these elements to make an object. They could add as many and as much of other materials as they chose. The result are 19 very different pieces of art. Pictures of the 2020 challenge are in the top row of pictures (including the kit), those from the 2019 challenge in the bottom series.  Enjoy!
