Meeting this week.

The next meeting of the Grapevine Beadmakers' Society will be this Satuday, the 18th, at 6:00 PM at Wired Up Beads in Southlake. Dorothy Caples will be demonstrated her horse head bead and I will be demoing coldworking beads.

With the Gathering coming I thought I would post our monthy newsletter here with information about it and upcoming shows.
