Cumberland Valley Bead Society

The Cumberland Valley Bead Society is a gathering of people from the Mid-South who share a love of beads. The Society was formed in 1997 and has steadily increased both in talent and in number. We are lucky to have a diverse group of people with a large variety of specialties in the bead world. During a meeting we enjoy, show, tell, and learn a new technique for you to take away and apply to the beadwork that you enjoy. The wide range of work present at each meeting serves as an inspiration to all beaders.

Our Purpose is to promote interest, education and the appreciation of the art and craft of beadwork. It is to encourage the development of individuals, places to work, to sell, to learn, to teach and to serve the community.

Meeting Times:
The second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 P.M. at the Christ United Methodist Church in Franklin, TN
