Kerrie Berrie first started making jewelry over fifteen years ago, inspired by the exiting range of creative possibilities available. After a few years spent developing her style, she began selling her designs and eventually opened a bead store in crafter-heaven the Brighton Laines.

Her passion for the art of beading is due to the variety of color, texture, and materials available to experiment with—a craft that Kerrie wanted to share with her customers. She teaches beading workshops from her store, Kerrie Berrie, to provide a great reference point for anyone starting out in beading, experimenting with a new idea, or trying to master a particular technique. In this book she collates her wealth of experience experimenting with new techniques and passing these on to beaders of all levels of ability.
