Welcome to the Southwest regional page! If you're an ISGB member in the great states of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico or Utah, I would love to add your news, events, classes, group events, meetings and more.
 
The Gathering will be here before we know it, so if you haven’t already registered, do so today! Check out the ISGB homepage for all the details on this year’s Gathering, presentations and classes. I look forward to seeing you there!

Chapter
 
ASGB – Arizona Society of Glass Beadmakers
 
Upcoming ASGB meetings:

June 23rd - Mesa Arts Center
August 11th - Lisa Hamilton host

At the June meeting, Penny will be collecting beads for postcard photography by David Orr for our 2014 postcards. These should be beads only, no jewelry items. Bring any additional beads and/or jewelry you would like to have photographed by David as well, for our bulk discount pricing. Note, there will be no meeting in July due to the Rochester Gathering, so all beads and jewelry will be returned to members at the August 11th meeting.
