MARCIA DECOSTER

Instructor Bio : Marcia's love for beautiful jewelry and the desire to create her own designs brought Marcia to beads in the early 1990's. Marcia designs colorful and fun to wear jewelry and shares her designs through teaching and writing. Remembering her own early attempts, Marcia recognizes that everyone learns differently and so takes great care to provide clear, concise and comprehensive instructions, graphics and text.

Her work has been published Carol Wilcox Wells’s The Art and Elegance of Bead Weaving and Margie Deeb’s The Beaders Color Pallette. In 2008 her work was featured in Masters Beadweaving and her urchin lariat graces the cover. In 2009 her own book 'Marcia DeCoster's Beaded Opulence' was published by Lark. Marcia is one of the featured 'Designers of the Year' in Beadwork magazine.
