Join me at this amazing conference. I have been invited to and will present workshops on design and making jewelry. Experience a beautiful destination and a wealth of information on beads and jewelry techniques from around the world.

The event serves to celebrate the bead culture of Sarawak, part of a greater Insulindian heritage, rooted in centuries of tradition. An ancient maritime trading network linked Borneo to the world; the beads most treasured today came from production centres on the Malay Peninsula, India, China and even further afield.

In the hands of Sarawak’s craftswomen and collectors, these masterpieces of the lapidary and glass artists from many lands became intrinsically ‘Borneo Beads.’
