An Interview with Ann Gilbert

I have created a new class for my Squared Necklace. In 2006, the necklace was in a show at the Beadazzled Bead Store in the Washington D.C. area, and Penelope Diamanti, who owns the bead store, published a photo of it in book called Beadazzled.

I am teaching an ongoing beading correspondence course for the Embroiderer's Guild of America. The class is available through their catalog.
