Garden Rope Bracelet

Originally from Vancouver, B.C., Canada, Maureen Chin was first introduced to beading by her mother, who showed her a few basic techniques.  Inspired to learn more, Maureen joined The Bead Society of Greater New York where she became an active member for over 10 years.  During that time she took classes with many distinguished bead artists and later found she wanted to share her knowledge and passion for beading and began teaching.  She taught at many venues in the New York area and at the Bead & Button Show.

Maureen works primarily with seed beads, but has an affinity for glass leaves, flowers, crystals and anything that sparkles!  Both bling and her love of color are always apparent and incorporated into her designs.  Her company, Bead Couture, offers Czech glass beads, bead supplies and anything she finds interesting!

Maureen currently resides in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina and has two spoiled Birman cats.
