1 May 2018 Newsletter Website: Facebook: Instagram: Tel: New Stock Lots of new beads to report! We now have an acrylic version of the glass carrier beads and Holly will be working on some patterns for these very soon. Other new beads have included 4mm glass bicones, 4mm matte glass round beads, Czech glass pressed buttons, Wheel beads, Paisley beads, and extra long twisted bugle beads. We are gradually restocking some of the size 8º seed beads, and we have some new colours of Miyuki seed beads in 22gm tubes and are expecting a new delivery of Toho Demi Rounds. New Patterns Holly has been working on some new patterns. She has now designed a set of four Serengeti coasters, an example of which is shown below and is now busy working on some 3Dimensional shapes, starting with an Icosahedron! Look out for this class in June! Classes and new and returning tutors We are excited to welcome Heather Robertson, of Frosty Feather Fae, who will be doing two Fantasy Fimo Polyclay classes with us on Saturday 26 th May, and the other on Saturday 2 nd June. Although each day will be a class in its own right, beaders will have the option of returning on the second class to add more embellishment to their creations if desired. Heather will be bringing a selection of Polyclay that you can purchase from her on the day. We will also have a small supply in.

In June, we will also be welcoming back Penny Jubin from The Glass Maidens who will be hosting drop in sessions to make a 5cm picture tile on Saturday 30 th June.

2 In June, we will also be welcoming back Penny Jubin from The Glass Maidens who will be hosting drop in sessions to make a 5cm picture tile on Saturday 30 th June. This will be held as a drop in session but we would like to get some idea of numbers and when you will be expecting to arrive. Penny estimates that each piece should take an hour/hour and a half for you to design. Cost per piece will be 10. Instagram The Bead Base is now on Instagram!
