The show will also feature a juried exhibit of bead art and over 500 bead and jewelry classes. Again this year there is a strong contingent from the Guild teaching, attending and just plain having fun!
June’s meeting will provide the highlights of this year’s show. The Bead and Button Show sets the stage for the industry and has a wide range of internationally recognized instructors where their new projects are debuted. Our team of attendees will bring back the scoop on new design trends, jewelry making techniques and tool applications that they learned at the show. We will get to see all of the projects that were made and any special goodies that were purchased. Be prepared to be dazzled and inspired!
