Beading

Celebrating the Centenary of Canberra

The Beading Sub-Section at the 2013 ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show offers a range of classes to enter for those who enjoy using their imagination and originality to create wearable items using beads!

What Classes can be entered in the Bead Sub-Section? 

Open to all ages are the following challenges:

• Any article of Bead Work depicting your interpretation of ‘Celebrating the Centenary of Canberra’
• Traditional Beading – from any country in the world

  The Great Canberra Scarf Competition, sponsored by Galifrey Alpaca Textiles, provides the opportunity for beading enthusiasts to use their creativity and imagination to make a scarf reflecting the theme of ‘Centenary of Canberra’.
