Class Information
The Bead&Button Show offers a variety of classes and workshops you can take while attending the show.  Various skill levels, age groups, and techniques are offered. 

Workshops are scheduled with longer hours than our general classes to give teachers more time to cover a variety of techniques or to focus on an advanced or complex technique. Workshops typically have fewer students in each session than our regular classes. This environment allows teachers to spend more time with each student.

Please be sure to review our full Show Schedule and Cancellation Policy.
