Continuing Education
As you grow in your beading skills, taking courses to learn new techniques is a great idea. Sure, you can learn new designs and some skills through magazines, books and videos, but nothing beats having an expert in a field take you through the ropes themselves and being able to ask questions hands on!
Upcoming class finds that I’ve come across recently:
Rings N Things is offering a June 3 course in Art Clay Silver , taught by ACS master instructor Kurt Madison, in addition to several other classes in beading techniques. If you are in the Spokane, WA area, it’s worth a check if you are interested in this fascinating medium.
The Bead Society of Greater Kansas City, located in Kansas City, MO, will be hosting several classes during it’s annual Bead Blast May 6-7. I’m excited to be taking two classes from their experts in chain-making and cabochon-wrapping.
The Bead and Button Show is June 11-18 and there are still a few openings in some classes. The show is located in Milwaukee, WI, and is one of the premier events of the year. Classes range from PMC to bead stringing to beading business topics.
Search for beading classes in your area, and sign up for a class soon. It’s a great investment in your craft!
