About the beads

A bead is the smallest thing the workshop makes and the easiest to mislabel. A family is one design in its configurations: the Pivot Bead alone runs to eleven records across three metals and seven sizes, and the Tablet and the annual bead are the same shape, one design across a few metals or a few years. The family, the class and the size say what a bead is. The record adds when it was made, what it is made of, how it was sold and whether it came in the box with a knife.

The families below sit by class; open one for the beads in it and their photographs. The year list covers the dated beads, newest first. The registry lists every bead with filters for class, material, size and status. Thumbnails open the album. The classes, the two generations, the materials and what separates a real bead from a copy are in the Knowledge Graph article linked at the end.
