The Original Texas Bead Retreat
Celebrating 20 years! A gathering of friends, old and new, who share a passion for the art of beading. Texas Bead Retreat has always been an informal get-together to visit and share knowledge. Bring a project to work on, take short classes from other participants, who volunteer to share their knowledge freely, or simply chill out and absorb the great bead energy. 

Our goal: To be unstructured and creative and -- most of all -- to have fun!

Classes

All classes are taught by fellow beaders who volunteer their time to teach us new projects. Classes are usually about two hours.

Everyone can sign up for three classes. But since the spirit of the retreat is that we share our knowledge with each other, we all pass on what we learned to our tablemates. So you'll spend the weekend learning a variety of projects from bead weaving to metal work.  Check out our 2018 Classes by clicking the link in the navigation bar. We'll update with 2019 class info when it becomes available.
