As preparation of the beadwork frame (pidangan) and design is time consuming, the
number of interested participants is limited to ten in total. Other conference candidates
are welcome to watch the making process or be part of the discussion. Two months
before the conference, I would set up a website to call for interested participants and
artisans to take part in this beading workshop. Interested participants would have to
submit their four inches by four inches design in colour that represents their
contemporary practices via email. The design would be digitized and the beadwork
frame (pidangan) made. Beading artisans who would like to share their experiences
with their own beadworks are also encouraged to take part in the workshop
