Hey everyone, you may have heard about a new way to shop for hand crafted ceramic art beads. It's called the
Ceramic Art Bead Market.
Joan Miller kicked off the idea to a small group of fellow ceramic bead artists (including me), and we decided to run with it: a Facebook-based auction group featuring original ceramic art bead artists. About mid-March, we managed to set up a group with an initial group of artists, and started accepting buyer members. We also set up a jury to admit additional artist sellers. The sellers are all fabulous artists, tops in their field both in terms of originality and craftsmanship. We also have wonderful buyers. Bottom line, it's been a positive experience all around and we've grown faster than we could have ever imagined. After just a couple of months we are already 1,000 strong.
Here is just a tiny sampling of some of the beautiful art beads you might find there... also, be sure to read the exciting special
announcement at the end of this post...
