How to Juggle Clay Beads through Social Media, Shows and Classes

Being a beadmaker makes me feel at times that I should also be a juggler.

As I work on new beads and objects, I am also prepping for shows, online sales and some classes.

New Marsha Neal Studio FaceBook Group

New Marsha Neal Studio FaceBook Group

I’ve started a new FaceBook Group called Marsha Neal Studio Group Share. The direction being that there is a place for me & interested customers/friends to bounce ideas off of each other. I will be showing off new items, maybe selling items here and there, and asking for customers to post items that they have made with Marsha Neal Studio objects.

2016 Bellefonte Arts Festival

On May 21, 2016 the Bellefonte Arts Festival is happening in North Wilmington, DE. I have my work in a case inside of the Bellefonte Arts Gallery if you want to check out my work along with enjoying the many artists, food, and music the festival is having.

The Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, WI is going to be so much fun. It is always great to see so many friends (customers and vendors).

Food week in Milwaukee is always delightful!
