My name is Jennifer Airs and I’m passionate about beads, and about beading. It’s the mix of the fabulous colours / textures of the beads and the way these can be transformed with a few simple tools into rich and shapely objects. .

I started designing beadwork as a natural progression from following, then adapting, other peoples patterns. Many of my patterns have been published in books and magazines. Some patterns are available free in my Shop.

At the time of this update: late April 2009: I’ve added some new patterns to my free pattern shop (but note that the more detailed ones will come direct from me rather than through the shop because of a technical problem I have with PDF files), have further patterns scheduled to appear in Bead Magazine (UK based), and in Bead & Button Magazine. I’m thrilled that Kim Gover’s book “Beading Design with semi-precious stones, glass, pearls and more” was published in February 2009 to international acclaim and includes two of my designs.

I also have a display scheduled for June/July/August at “The Capitol”, the Arts Centre in Horsham, Sussex, England.
