We are stronger together.

Beads have played a powerful role in global history—used in trade, ceremony, and healing for centuries. Today, this legacy lives on through ISGB’s cherished partnership with Beads of Courage, a nonprofit that supports children coping with serious illness through arts-in-medicine programs.

ISGB artists contribute thousands of handmade beads to mark a child’s medical milestones—each one a symbol of strength, courage, and hope. The Dream Beads program invites children to design their own beads, which ISGB artists bring to life—offering a deeply personal expression of resilience.
 
ISGB Artists have curated a selection of tutorials of beads the kids will love!
