Bead & Button Show Class Registration Open

It's that time already! Bead & Button Show class registration opened today. It always seems so early but classes do sell out so I recommend making your plans now, while all of your top choices are still available. We always have a great time and the Marketplace is awe-inspiring.

I'm excited to show you the workshops I'll be teaching at the Bead & Button Show this year. I'll also be teaching the first one at CREATE YOUR STYLE in Tucson, Arizona in just a few short weeks. The other three classes are based on concepts from my newest book, Live Wire Jewelry. Hope to see you in class!
