The Iowa Bead Society was started in October of 2002.
We currently have 50+ members and continue to grow.
Our purpose is to promote the understanding and enjoyment of beads,
beading and beadwork as an art form.
The Society meets monthly and we have beaders of every kind in our group.
We look forward to meeting new bead friends and
sharing with each other the art of beading and making beads,
so please come and join us.
