It is getting close, the 2017 Borneo International Bead Conference!
12-15 October, in Kuching, Borneo

For those thinking about going, the program looks very interesting. You can see the speakers on the website. A mix between bead researchers and artists from 5 continents!

It would be great to see some BCN faces in Borneo. I will be giving a presentation on European made beads and a workshop on beadwork.

I will combine my trip with a visit to Javanese beadmakers, bead shopping in Bali, seeing my sister in Australia, and finishing it off with a few days and a cooking trip in Kuala Lumpur. Lucky me!
