Now that I have retired as Journal Editor for the Beadworkers Guild my next                           beading adventure will be to dedicate my time to researching the history of     British Beadwork.

I have spent many years researching historical beadwork, creating my own collection and now curating the Beadworkers Guild collection of beadwork. I hope that now I have more time to dedicate to research that I will be able to make more progress.

I intend to research all time periods, but my particular interest has always been the 17th century, and this is where I will concentrate my efforts.
