Kim Stathis

Through out my life, I have always needed a creative outlet.  I have played with many different types of media’s and loved them all.  The media that really captured my heart and inspired my creative soul is seedbeads!   There is just something alluring and special about those little bits of colored glass that I cannot resist.  I love the challenge of designing with seedbeads using off-loom beading techniques.  So many colors, textures and shapes!  So many ways to express yourself with beadsI have been teaching my designs nationally for the past five years.  It is my hope that students will be inspired by what they have learned in class and continue to do beadwork and enjoy it as much as I do.At home, I have my husband, son and mom, 3 Siamese cats and a Lhasa Apso dog.  Life is never dull at my house.  I do most of my design work late at night when everyone is asleep!!

Nancy Dale

When people ask me, “Why is your art-business called ‘Amee Runs with Scissors?’’ I usually just laugh and say that it sounds a whole lot sexier than “Amee Eats Paste.” In truth, it has more to do with my creative process than I can usually articulate in a five-minute conversation without sounding like I might need a jacket that ties in the back. You see, in my day-to-day reality, I am actually a bit of a rule-follower… a box-checking, i-dotting, t-crossing, ultra responsible kind of girl. My creative spirit, however, seems to be about as predictable as a sugared up six-year-old. I know this because when I am truly immersed in something really creative, coming up with something wholly new, I become aware of strange, inexplicable sensation of surreptitiousness… an “almost-guilt…” like I’m getting away with something sort of mischievous and I might – at any moment – be… caught! Doing what, you ask? I have no idea. But I have come to trust this feeling – to listen to this wild-eyed, slightly-manic inner-child who might whisper something as wacky as, “I wonder would happen if I mix Tang and chocolate milk,” because she’s just as likely to say, “Hey! Let’s put some Ultra-suede in the Sizzix machine!” I work out of my home in New Hampshire making one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable-art textile-jewelry. I teach private and group classes and my technique, Soutache-and-Bead Embroidery involves hand-stitching yards and yards of soutache braid and hundreds of tiny beads.

Maggie Meister

The love of ancient history, color and patterns has followed me throughout my life and my designs have come to fruition during the time my family and I lived in Italy. In looking back, beads have always been a part of my life – from playing with Mardi Gras beads or collecting semi-precious stones as a young girl to my love of ancient and ethnic jewelry as I became older. Today seed beads have become the medium I use to translate my sources of inspiration into personal designs for adornment.When living in Naples, Italy, I was surrounded by ancient history. The fragments of Roman columns, mosaics and frescoes are my inspiration and I am grateful for those “ancient voices”. Small beads are my “building blocks” used to translate these voices into designs and fill my days with joy and wonder and I cherish my “connection” with the past.

Times running out and its time for fun!

Nancy Cain

Nancy Cain’s bead story began in 1989 when she wanted to make a beaded watch band. The local bead store had a class that week and thus began her passion for beads. After making 147 watches, she wondered what the little beads were for. Not long after learning peyote stitch, she had her children and decided to quit her job as a Graphic Artist to be a stay-at-home mom. Playing with the beads and the one stitch she knew she began to explore it in depth. Teaching beginning peyote for the local store was a way to ‘work for beads.’ When Nancy teaches a class, she takes the students into the process of the technique and exploring variations within each component.Nancy lives in Colorado with her husband, Kelly. She has two children, daughter, Talley, 17 a junior in high school and son Hunter, 20 a sophomore at college. She has been teaching for the Bead&Button Show since 2005, and has traveled and taught extensively around the country as well as internationally. In 2007, Nancy was invited to teach at the Bead Art Show in Kobe, Japan and again in 2011 for Coronet Co. Ltd. She has taught on two bead cruises – one to Alaska and the other through the Baltic Sea. She was named Designer of the Year for 2010 – Beadwork magazine. Her work has appeared in Beadwork magazine and in several book Gallery sections. Nancy has twice been a BeadDreams finalist, exhibiting at the Bead&Button Show. Her work has exhibited in several museums in Japan including the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has an online video class through Craftsy Inc.

Chantal Griffis

A growing love of textile arts was the motivation for education and training as a working couture master seamstress. As beading became a focus for my artistic expression, woven jewelry became my muse – an art form where techniques of sewing and the artistry of crystal beading are beautifully united with pattern and design.
As an artist, my hope is that those who view my work will be inspired by the beauty of the crystals, the interplay of light and the shapes – that they will see within these patterns of this jewelry an interpretation of the beauty I see in the world around me.
In 2006, while I living in Massachusetts, I opened my own business. I relocated to the Puget Sound region in 2009. My work was recognized in publications. I continue the legacy and significance of beads and use this treasured medium to reinforce their value and purpose in modern society.
