Directory of Bead Societies & Art Guilds

Looking for a bead society, polymer-clay guild, metal art, or glassworking group or guild near you? Browse this list! Contact any of these local groups for more information about meeting times and locations. If there aren't any bead societies in your state, check surrounding states — there may be one just across the border.

If you know of an organization to add to this list (or corrections to be made to the list), please contact us. Thank you!

If you're a new bead society, you might want to tell the Bead Society of Greater Washington, and the Bead Society of Greater Chicago.
