The earlier beads were the outgrowth of the counter culture movement where a significant segment of the population was attempting to acquire a better understanding of there place in society. And, who mostly sought to make the world a better place to live in.
In time a number of these casual artisans became master crafts men and women. In the process of exploring and expanding their knowledge of various media they have laid the foundation for contemporary beadmakers working today in glass, clay, polymer and various other media.
