Katherine began beading ten years ago when she felt the desire to create purses similar to the Victorian era purses she had been collecting for years. She first taught herself loom work, and then moved on to bead kniting, crochet, and along the way learned wirework and various seed bead stitches. We were very excited when she was selected for a second year, as a finalist in The Bead & Button's Bead Dreams competition (image below).

In April 2005, her beaded necklace entitled "Off To The Theater" was published in Bead & Button Magazine. Katherine is an Principal with the Appleton Area School District and when not beading, she enjoys time with her family, gardening, quilting and reading...anything but cooking and cleaning!

Molly began beading about 12 years ago. She has always had an intrest in color and enjoys creating beaded works of art. She is a very talented instructor and her enthusiasm rubs off on everyone she comes in contact with. Molly has a career in business and enjoys traveling with her husband.
