Testimonials:
- “The Bead Project has enhanced my community because it has enhanced me.”
- “I didn’t expect to make this many close connections. I was unsure if this experience would lead me to continue working with glass, but I can’t imagine stepping away. I also didn’t expect to get so curious about all the other types of glasswork.”
- “I am now a creator and moving out into the art community at markets and events! I think it gave me the confidence to feel like an actual artist and to introduce myself to others in the art community.”
- “I am really grateful for the experience and the support of UrbanGlass and the Bead Project. It has given me something to hold onto during difficult times and now that I am in a much more stable and happier situation, I am slowly building a foundation to become a professional artist which I used to believe was impossible.”
