The Eclectic Beachcombing Collection of Tina Terry from Teal Bamboo

Online Exclusive

Tina’s work has enabled her to travel and comb many beaches from Japan to California and beyond. Get a peek at the glass floats, sea glass, seashells, fossils, and more eclectic pieces in her collection.

This presentation was part of the 2021 Beachcombing Holiday Festival on November 27, 2021. You can watch all the Festival videos in one place on YouTube.

Videos and presentations were made possible by our Marketplace Exhibitors, members of Beachcombing Club, and by our Presenters who generously shared their time to take us on their beachcombing adventures, share their expertise, and show some of their collections.
