How do I apply for a Master's Class? Admission to each Master Class was by lottery, which took place on January 6. If you have questions regarding any of the Master Classes, please contact Customer Service directly at 800-554-0197 or by e-mail. A waitlist is maintained for all master class applicants in the event a student withdraws from the class. |

Refunds for Master Class Students There will be no refunds issued to Master Class students after March 12, 2010 unless we can sell your class seat. A waiting list of students from our lotteries will be kept on file in the event of cancellations. This refund date for Master Classes is earlier than our workshop and class refund date of April 23, 2010. |

Pre-Registration Students enrolled in a Master Class are able to pre-register for additional classes before online registration opens on Tuesday, January 12, 2010. The $30.00 registration fee is waived for all Master Class students. |

Souvenirs and Special Events Master Class students will receive the 2010 commemorative bead by Leah Fairbanks, Show tote, commemorative anniversary coffee mug, souvenir T-shirt, collectible Show pin, one ticket to the Meet the Teachers Reception, and one ticket to the Bead Social without any additional charges. |

Pre-Requisites Please carefully review any pre-requisites listed for each Master Class to ensure that you meet the teacher's expectation of your skill level. In this level of workshops, individual tutoring of basic techniques is not appropriate. If you have any questions concerning your skill level, please e-mail the Master Class faculty. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have. |

Meals Included in the class fee are breakfast and lunch each day, as well as a special Tuesday evening dinner reception with faculty and students from the three Master Classes and members of the Bead&Button, BeadStyle, and Art Jewelry editorial staffs. |

Where are the Master Classes Held?
Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC). Thank you to the administration and staff of MATC for hosting our Master Classes and several of our Fundamentals in Techniques on their campus. Transportation by school bus will be provided in the morning from the Hyatt Hotel to the university studios each day. In the evening, students can be dropped off at their downtown hotels. Students can also walk to the college, if they prefer. It is a four block walk to the campus building. MATC 700 West State Street Milwaukee, WI 53233-1443 |
Graduation Dinner
On Tuesday evening, we ask that you assemble for dinner in the lobby of the Hyatt Hotel between 6:30 and 6:45 p.m. There will be two bus pickups. One of our staff will check you in, and there will be a school bus to transport you back to MATC. The graduation dinner and reception will be held at MATC in their banquet room. Publishers, editors and staff from our three jewelry magazines, Bead&Button, BeadStyle and Art Jewelry will also be attending this special reception. They are looking forward to meeting you. The graduation dinner will take place from approximately 7:00-10:00 p.m. We will have a cocktail and mingle hour from 7:00-8:00 p.m. and then dinner will be served. In order that the classes may conclude by 5:00 p.m., the Master Classes at MATC studios on Tuesday morning will start earlier. You will be notified of this exact time at a later date. This will give students a chance to freshen up or rest before dinner. The dress code for the reception is casual to dressy - dress as you are most comfortable - anything goes! |
