2026 Update: We are excited to announce that April through June, our Program Meetings will be at our new space with the Howard County Center for Arts at The Capitoline Center in Classroom B (8360 Court Avenue, Ellicott City, MD 21043). Parking is plentiful, well-lit and a short distance to the building.

The Baltimore Bead Society’s monthly programs are held the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm ET. All visitors are welcome. If you are interested in attending virtually, please email the BBS Membership Chair at bbsmemberchair@gmail.com for the meeting link. After two meetings, we hope you will become a member.

Meetings start with a short business informational session followed by a program with a visiting artist or speaker. Our artists and speakers, nationally known in beading and jewelry making, offer our members an opportunity to meet and learn from the very best.

Other programs may also consist of free night of instruction on basic topic, a new technique, a social event such as a holiday party, or an introduction to a local vendor selling beads, supplies, or jewelry.

At each in person program, we have a freecycle table of jewelry supplies, and a “Wear and Share.” Everyone is welcome!
