What is inside your Spice Bazaar box?

I spent a big part of my twenties and my soon-to-be-over thirties with exploring the world. Instead of the comfort of 5-star hotels and all-inclusive beaches I preferred walking between ordinary people, sitting down on the ground to listen to their stories and to share their drinks and meals. I got to know coffee with a piece of burning coal dropped into it in Indonesia, and drank an insane amount of mint tea in Morocco.

However, it wasn’t easy right away from the beginnings. Sometimes I got overwhelmed, I had difficulties finding vegetarian food, or even got sick for a while.

One of the first countries I visited was India.

Not being able to navigate the streets, finding the train I needed, or making myself understood wasn’t what I expected, with the newest edition of Lonely Planet in my backpack. A few years later we traveled to Morocco with my sister, and the labyrinth of the cities, the snake charmers and monkey dancers on the square took us by surprise.

Yet, at the end, discomforts like these can make us more experienced, wiser, stronger, richer in our hearts and minds. We discover that the world is so much more colorful than we have imagined it to be, even if it seemed scary first. There are a lot more ways of saying ‘welcome’ and ‘I love you’ than we knew of. And these experiences make us better prepared when life throws at us other kind of obstacles.

I would like to introduce you the new Academy Theme, The Spice Bazaar and invite you to explore the unknown. Let’s follow the fragrant trails of cinnamon, cumin, saffron, and anise. In these special places, visitors quickly find themselves at the heart of the local market, where the air is filled with exotic aromas that invite curiosity and exploration. Piles of spices in rich shades of red, yellow, green, and brown are artfully displayed, their colors captivate the eye and the nose alike.

We’re going to bead together and explore the new cultures, colors, art together – from our homes and beadmats.

The Beadingschool Academy brings you a new source of inspiration every second month, with a curated Theme Box full of beads and components, tutorials, and weekly #NoOneHasToBeadAlone workshops that are also designed with the Academy Theme on our minds. Today, it’s time to see what the next two months are going to be about!
