2026 Bead Retreat with Cindy Holsclaw!

October 23-25, 2026

SJBS is delighted to welcome Cindy Holsclaw back to teach Bead Retreat 2026!

Cindy Holsclaw has always been fond of geometric structures. After many years of exploring these mathematical forms in modular origami, in 2006 she learned that they could be made with beads! From then on, she was hooked. In 2009 Cindy began writing patterns for her own designs, then dove into designing and teaching beadwork full-time.

With a background in academia and doctorate in biochemistry, Cindy takes an analytical approach to design, exploring different bead shapes and variations on established beading techniques. As an educator, Cindy challenges students to learn something new in every class. Read more about Cindy, her awards and publications here: https://www.beadorigami.com/
