The International Bead Biennale is being held for the first time as part of the International Festival of Glass 2022, as a sister exhibition to the British Glass Biennale

It is open to artists, designers, craftspeople and students of all nationalities worldwide who create beads where glass is the key design element.  The work must demonstrate the highest level of excellence in design, creative imagination and technical skill.

The deadline for submissions has now ended
