Lets Bead Live April 12th 2025
1 to 3pm Pincushions
Our April Saturday Beading LIVE is Jen Segrest. She will teach us to make these fun pincushions
April 12 1-3pm
What to have: 1-2 9x12 sheets of felt, 2-4 shades of embroidery floss, craft thread, or pearl cotton, a soda bottlecap, and couple handfuls of fiberfill, an embroidery needle.
Jen Segrest of Enon, Ohio has been documenting and researching European beadwork spanning the 10th to 17th centuries for over 30 years. She started as a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, an international medieval re-creation and resesrch non-profit organization, in the early 90's and began researching beadwork within the time period and... Promptly found little to no information. So she started hunting for it. She started MedievalBeads.com as an information store house for photos and item information of bead embroidery in the covered centuries. Twenty-five years later her website now holds 200 examples of beadwork. 120 of those being extant examples - most hidden from public view in museum store rooms - making it the largest single resource on the topic. She invites anyone to contact her at 9379933433 or [email protected]

No Two Alike (SnowFlakes) Museum of Beadwork
Join us in our annual Collaborative Community Project!
How it works: Each year we ask artists to contribute a beaded item of a specific theme. We install these collected items in an exhibition highlighting the power of people coming together for the purpose of community and creation. The exhibition is then on display for roughly a year. Once finished, the individual items are used in fundraising efforts for the Museum supporting the staff, development, and programs of this community-based institution. Click the link to learn more
