The International Society of Glass Beadmakers (ISGB) has announced the newest additions to its Presidents Collection, curated by Past President Bronwen Heilman. Each innovative glass bead was chosen for including either a nonflameworking element, or an addition that is not glass! To celebrate, the ISGB will host a virtual Second Sunday Creators and Makers event on September 14, 2025, offering insights into the collection and its artists. The curated pieces will also be included in the Corning Museum of Glass, inspiring future generations of beadmakers.
