UK Beaders - Home

Welcome to UK Beaders

I created the UK Beaders site and forum as many of us UK based beaders have found it difficult to find the kind of information we need all in one place. Be it suppliers, tutorials, events or anything else bead or jewellery related. The few UK based sites I had managed to find often contained minimal useful information, dead links, and out of date events.

As you will find out, UK Beaders site is so much more than just an online directory. It is a genuine community of people who love beads and making jewellery. It is run on a non profit basis with no agenda. I do not run a bead shop, and nobody pays me to run this site.

The sites you will find here are not just added at the owner’s request. They are checked out first to ensure they have content that is worthy of a mention. If the site has received bad reviews from our group members or if repeated emails to the owner aren’t answered it wont be listed. I regularly update and I check that all the links are still active and add new content regularly.

If it's been a while since your last visit, or you notice a change to the website be sure to check out our blog for more details.

Just a little note to everyone... If you have emailed/tried to get in touch, and haven't received a response within a week, please do get in touch again. I have noticed that the occasional message seems to slip through the net, and occasionally I need a reminder to chase up something I was supposed to be doing!

Thank you for your patience
Happy Beading

If you would like to discuss any of the site's mentioned here or any other jewellery making or beading related topics I'd love to see you in our UK Beaders Forum.

On a personal note I'd like to thank all those people out there who have helped by: recommending sites, producing their own sites, being active in the forums and enjoying the pleasures of beading and making jewellery!
