Leading Jewellery Making Magazine Expands Distribution to Satisfy Demand

MACCLESFIELD, England, September 2, 2010 - Practical Publishing is delighted to announce that Creative Beads &
Jewellery magazine will from today be available in WHSmith and other leading
newsagents nationwide.

Launched earlier this year, the title has previously been available only
through specialist jewellery and beading stores. However the response from
store owners, industry experts and readers has been so overwhelming that the
publisher has decided to ramp up the distribution.

The jewellery and beading sector has seen considerable growth in recent
years. There are around 150 dedicated bead shops in the UK, and even in these
tough economic times, jewellery-making enthusiasts spend an average of
GBP2500 a year on jewellery and beading products.*

Catering for this expanding market, Creative Beads & Jewellery is
published every four weeks and provides ideas and inspiration for all levels
of the hobby. It contains practical advice on choosing the perfect beads,
making your own elements, and combining everything to create stylish
jewellery.

Editor Diane Grimshaw says, "I'm so excited by this opportunity to
develop this market further. Beading and jewellery making is evolving rapidly
in the UK and some of the creations we receive are amazing. I can't wait to
share them with a wider audience."

Managing Director Danny Bowler adds, "This is terrific news for both
advertisers and consumers. The magazine already has a dedicated readership
among jewellery makers, and now even more readers will be able to get their
hands on a copy. Advertising spend will now have more reach too, with the
magazine delivering a wider audience. Existing advertisers will retain a
loyal, enthusiastic readership base while enjoying a surge of newcomers to
the hobby."

Creative Beads & Jewellery issue 6 is on sale from today in WHSmith,
Hobbycraft, and leading independent newsagents and craft specialists, and
costs GBP3.99.
