Category: Designer Interviews
Are you an aspiring designer? Or are you just keen to get to know more beading designers and find more beading tutorials? Well, these designer interviews will help you.
I’ve asked some of my favourite beading and jewellery making designers let us all know more about their work.
So, if you’ve ever wondered how a designer gets started, the answers are here in the designer interviews. You will get to experience a little of each designer’s process. Plus get some great tips and advice if you have a desire to create or sell your own work.
This is a great way to discover new beading designers. So, if you’re wondering how to find new beading patterns, this will help. Get to know the designer. Get a taste of their style. Then, pop over to their website or Etsy store and find some new projects to try.
If you are already a designer and would like to be featured in these designer interviews, just get in touch. I’m always happy to introduce new names to My World of Beads members.
If you’re reading this and you have a favourite designer that you would like me to interview, then please use this link to suggest their name. I love discovering new designers and sharing their work. Or even just being reminded to catch up with a well-known designer that I already know.
And, remember to join the mailing list so you don’t miss out. As a member, you get an email once a month, giving you links to all the new articles. Plus, a free gift when you join.
