About the Bead Project:
The Bead Project is a 10-week scholarship initiative offering a blend of studio and classroom coursework. Participants gain expertise in various glass bead techniques, jewelry design, entrepreneurship, and strategies for launching a successful small business. This program not only nurtures creativity but also fosters a supportive community that extends beyond the program's duration.
