Welcome to the Obsessive Compulsive Beadworkers of PA, founded in 2000 by Denice Girardeau, SuZ Garcia, Gerry Vojtilla, Margie Jones, Denise Barger, and Kathy Meredith, half of whom are still in the area and active with OCBPA! Based in the Pittsburgh area, we are a disparate group who share an interest in beadwork of all types. Our skills range from rank beginner to award winning artists.
Our goals for this group are characterized by "-ings" (not in any particular order) -- sharing, learning, swapping, road tripping, exhibiting, meeting new people, teaching, designing, participating, supporting....
The group has no membership requirements other than a compulsive need to bead (LOL). You can be from anywhere in the world as you will see by the wide and diverse membership roster.
HOWEVER, our meetings and events are usually in the Pittsburgh area
