About The Loose Bead Society

Who Are We?

The Loose Bead Society of Greater Milwaukee began in 1999 as a fellowship of kindred spirits with the purpose of sharing and promoting the creation of beautiful beadwork.

We are governed by a set of bylaws.

Membership in the Loose Bead Society is open to anyone who is obsessed with beading...

...or wirework, lamp work, silver clay, fibers or polymer clay. We string beads and weave beads; crochet, embroider, and knit them; we follow instructions and break rules (along with a few needles). Our members range from beginners to nationally known designers and teachers.
