Two ways to reach me

For several years you have been able to reach my web site via www.mmmbeads.com. That will still work. But I now have another option for you, and that is www.amphoradesigns.net.

Trunk Show Info

I am now offering a trunk show at teaching venues. I am bringing treasures from my travels in Italy and beyond. One of a kind focal beads and pendants in glass, ceramics and raku made by Italian artisans are offered for sale, along with Italian seed beads and small kits. Customers and students can use their particular medium (i.e., seed beads, PMC, wire, etc.) to create jewelry with an international flair. Bead Shop Owners and Bead Societies: Let me know if you are interested in the trunk show when you contact me for workshops.

Visit my Workshop and Beadventure pages for the latest information on new workshops, class schedules and upcoming Beadventures. Also look for photo albums from recent trips.
