As we close out the year, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to the designers who shared their time, ideas, and talents with us. A special thank you to Lauren Quigley, Nichole Vogelsinger, and Deb Floros for the care, skill, and enthusiasm you bring to every project.

Your work brought fresh energy to our classrooms, videos, and pages, and helped makers feel confident trying something new. You showed up with generosity, curiosity, and a real love for teaching. From thoughtful techniques to clever details, you gave people more than instructions. You gave them encouragement and momentum.

We are so grateful for everything you contributed this year, and we cannot wait to see where your ideas take us next. Thank you for being such an important part of the John Bead story.

We can’t think of a bigger collection of free beading and crystalizing tutorials than our six years of working with Michaels Stores.  We have seven volumes now and all of them can be found here.
