The Bead Society of Greater Washington Has Retired!

The Bead Society of Greater Washington (BSGW) was a nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1983 as a forum for studying and disseminating knowledge about beads. It addressed the needs of bead scholars, researchers, artists, and craftspeople by offering a range of programs and activities - an extensive library, bazaars, outreach programs, talks, and workshops. After much deliberation and careful consideration, the BSGW dissolved in 2022.

While meetings and events will no longer be held, the Bead Timeline is still available virtually via the links above.

Also available are lists of several Bead Related Organizations, Publications and Research, Bead Resources and past Bead Bazaar Vendors.

This website will be available through July 9. 2024.
