Lampwork Bead Artisan Sale!!
- Apr 01, 2023 05:30 pm

There is a lampwork retreat going on at Bead-Therapy (at the building in front of the shop) by a local group (not by Bead-Therapy) and several of the lampworkers make beautiful beads and sell them in other shops/museums, etc on a regular basis. Several of them are bringing thier work to sell at the end of the retreat. Purchases will be between you and the artist, many can take credit card through PayPal, but cash is always appreciated. This will be before the Silent Auction.

Cost: $ FREE
This Silent Auction will be held at the end of the Lampwork retreat to benefit Beads of Courage Charity (provides innovative Arts-in-Medicine programs for children coping with serious illness, their families, and the clinicians who care for them). There will be lampwork beads and items related to lampwork, but also many other works of art (this group does a multitude of types of art and crafts- several which I have purchased in the past and have on display in Bead-Therapy). The retreat group have been long term sponsors (providing a multitude of beads to brighten seriously ill children's days) of Beads of Courage and since this is the last retreat for the group (Marjorie is "retiring" from the retreat business), the auction is going to be MUCH larger than previous events. Which means a lot of very interesting pieces for auction. There is no cost to attend.
