What a day!

Had a lovely day teaching my Chartres project and then in the evening we had out big Friday evening event and this year we had 2 main guests both of which were fabulous.

First up we were joined by Christopher Venn who is an incredible beader and beaded dress designer. Not only did we get to hear Chris passionately & eloquently talk about his beading and the project but we got to see all of the beaded dresses (made by both him, his wife Cate and her mum Mo) which was an absolute joy.

Then we had Davida from the Old Bicycle Shop bead shop who spoke about their history and the amazing laser-etched beads they well and we all got a chance to do some shopping.

The event took place in the beautiful Chapel Barn at our venue and it was decorated with all the beaded beads made by everyone for our beaded bead swap.
