guest artist program

ABS is proud to announce its new Guest Artist Program! Beadventures has passed the torch to ABS in providing Anchorage classes. ABS will provide classes in bead arts by hosting a variety of guest artists, both local and out-of-state. You can expect some of the same artists that have been hosted by Beadventures, as well as new artists. You do not have to be an ABS member to take a class; classes are open to the public. Registration is required and the ABS Class Policy applies.

Kinga Nichols was born in 1980, in Hungary. At 19, she packed up her life in a backpack and moved to the US where she has been residing since, albeit not at the same place. She currently lives in Boulder, Colorado with her boyfriend and furbabies Agent Nancy Mayhem and Marley.
One way or another Kinga has been always making things, which started turning into a career when she was painting murals at the time she lived in New York. The murals were fun, but she did not feel like painting was her calling. Eventually she picked up a bead and Button magazine in 2007, found a bead embroidery project, and slowly but surely the obsession took over.
