The Society is open to all those who have an appreciation, either private or professional, of beads ancient and modern, of all shapes, sizes, materials and colours; their techniques of manufacture, and their application.

The aim of our Society is to encourage and share knowledge and enjoyment of every type of bead, to improve the accuracy of information and the skills of making, using, caring for and collecting beads, together with the understanding of the many peoples for whom beads are so important in their lives.

The Society publishes a 40 page magazine 3 times a year full of interesting features from around the world.  History, Art, making and using modern beads, current trends and beautiful pictures all included.

The Beadwork and Bead Fair, held in October, has beads and supplies from across the globe and across time. Antique and modern all to see at the show.

There are classes that are mostly free to members, classes that are taught by designers from all over the world. In the last few years Diana Fitzgerald, Elsie Mann, Jenny Boyle, Evelyn Cohen, Anna Feher, Heide Jenkins to name but a few..

There are specials that are exclusive to BSofGB that fund the classes, Called the bursary fund, pens and needle cases are colourful, fun and functional.
