About
My name is Jo Barclay Loggie and about 5 years into stringing gemstone jewellery, I found seed beads and I haven't looked back. I was managing a local bead shop teaching jewellery making workshops and writing detailed tutorials for national magazines when I was approached by a jewellery making television channel, where I was a guest designer for 2 years, doing live demonstrations on the telly, teaching workshops and filming DVD's.
Fast forward to a world of online technology and today I upload new beadie content to youtube regularly. There are tutorials on basic bead weaving stitches and techniques perfect for a beginner beader, but also complete projects - necklaces, bracelets and earrings - for those looking to advance their skills. I'm pretty quick at answering any questions you may have too - all you need to do is leave your questions in the comments for me to see.
I also sell PDF's on Etsy for those who prefer a step by step photographic and written pattern.
