Founded over 30 years ago, in Maryland, the Baltimore Bead Society is a regional arts guild composed of bead enthusiasts, creative artists, and jewelry designers.
Through our monthly meetings and classes & workshops, our members share our common interests in all forms of beading, varied jewelry-making techniques, and in the history and culture of beading throughout the world.
We supply an inclusive, supportive and social environment for all of our programs.
Our monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, September through June, at the Howard County Center for the Arts, 8510 High Ridge Road in Ellicott City, Maryland at 7:00 pm. All visitors are welcome. After two meetings, we hope you will become a member.
We are a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
