BOC February First Friday on Etsy.com

Welcome to the monthly First Friday Art Walk post for Beads of Clay.

This art walk was started by the AWETeam on Etsy, and runs Friday - Sunday,

over the First Friday weekend of every month.

Having a monthly event like this gives our members something to come together for to help promote the art of making handmade beads and to promote our umbrella group (Beads of Clay) where we come together as a community of artisans to talk about making beads from clay dug from the earth.

Look for BOC treasuries on Etsy.

Please take some time to check out the members of our group that are helping to promote their work through this art walk weekend by linking up their Etsy shop below.

To find participating shops, we ask that our members use the tag: BOCFFAW
*There are changes on the horizon for Beads of Clay. If you want to become a member to help promote your business, visit the BOC website for details.
Great new things are in store - so don't miss out!!!
