Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to the Bead Society of New Mexico and we take it very seriously. The New Mexico Bead Society does not sell or rent personally identifiable information to third parties.

NMBS CRAFT PROJECT POLICY

The NMBS board has decided to archive the three group projects, which will become our initial foundation pieces that are displayed at exhibits and events the society participates in as representative examples. The group projects would then become property of the society to contribute to the community. These projects include the “Pretty Kitty” pillow, the “Highland Inheritance” loom work piece, and the “Green Goddess” seed bead necklace. We are planning to continually add to the group projects as part of an on-going effort to build a collection of NMBS exhibit pieces to for displayed in future exhibits.
