Useful News for August Classes

Thank you for your patience as we re-scheduled the Bead&Button Show for August 23-29, 2020. We are excited and hopeful that we will be able to welcome you all to Milwaukee for a safe and healthy event. We know it’s difficult right now to decide what to do. Please know you can cancel without penalty until July 20 so you can still register and have peace of mind.

We have posted a compilation of useful updates for August in the Show News section of BeadAndButtonShow.com. We encourage you to read through it here.

Exhibitor Spotlight: OGees Seed Beading Design Board

We’re excited to welcome a new addition to this year’s Expo: Orly Garrett of OGees Seed Beading Design Board! Says Garrett: “Many years ago, I had a machinist make a seed bead board for me, per my specifications. I was always frustrated by software programs and grid paper to create my seed bead designs. When I retired from my real job, I improved upon my 20 plus year-old design board, patented it, and thus OGees Seed Beading Design Board was born in 2017.”

If you’re a seed beader looking for a new solution, check out OGeesSeedBeadingDesignBoard.com now for flat rate shipping on boards and tools for many sizes of seed beads, visit them on Facebook, or see these brilliant products in person this August at the Bead&Jewelry Expo!

Please consider supporting the exhibitors in our Bead&Button Show community by ordering your project materials from them online during this strange and difficult time.
