Tonight’s gonna be a BEAD night!

Puget Sound Bead Festival Kick- Off Party is TONIGHT from 6-9pm.

This will be your only chance to see the samples in person, a special feature never allowed with any other national bead show.

We just happened to be lucky enough to still have all the samples from the class selection process, so before we send them back to the instructors, we let you sneak a peak!

The Biggest Bead show on the west coast!

I’ll use my first official blog to brag a bit about our upcoming show, The Puget Sound Bead Festival that is sponsored by my other company The Bead Factory in tacoma, WA. My husband Mark Lareau and my self will both be teaching this summer at the store and the festival. Mark’s most famous class, tilted after his book, All Wired Up is sure to sell out soon and my Business Of Beading class based on my best selling book, How to Market and Sell your Handmade Jewelry will be offered as well as many others. This year’s show features 120 bead companies and 125 bead classes and workshops. During the show we’ll feature beading demonstrations, and beginning bead classes right on the show floor.

This year’s show is bigger and better than ever. To find out more about this summer’s bead show and our upcoming Bellevue Bead Festival this fall, go to www.northwestbeadfestivals.com
