The Honor Bead Project

Make a glass bead for a local hero at the Honor Bead Project. Drop into Artstation for a free glass beadmaking workshop on Sunday December 6th between 12pm and 4pm.

Creating a sense of community takes a great deal of work and effort. We believe it’s time we worked together to honor some extraordinary people - our local heros. Drop into Artstation and show your support by making a glass bead.

The Honor Bead project is a new local event to acknowledge and honor ordinary heroes within our local community (Ponsonby, Arch Hill, Coxs Bay, Freemans Bay, Herne Bay, Grey Lynn, St Marys Bay, West Lynn and Westmere).

Most of us know ordinary people who donate hours of their time, energy and often their own money to local projects with love, without question, and often without recognition. We believe it’s time our community worked together to honor more of these local heroes.

We have five nominations and will hold an open glass bead-making workshop at Artstation where visitors will have the opportunity to learn how to make glass beads. Beads made over the course of the workshop will be strung into necklaces for the nominees. It's going to be loads of fun, so drop by, learn how to make glass beads and show your support.
