Challenge yourself!

Master Classes at the Bead&Button Show are the perfect forum for challenging yourself, stretching your imagination, and furthering your technical skills. The skills you learn in a Master Class — not to mention the connections you forge with your fellow students — will last a lifetime.

The 2017 Master Classes cover a wide range of jewelry-making skills, from beadweaving and kumihimo to metalworking and enamel. You'll enjoy hands-on instruction from a jewelry-making expert in a small-group setting. Classes are 3-4 days long and include plenty of extras, including free Show registration and souvenirs, transportation to and from class, breakfast and lunch each day of the class, and a delicious graduation dinner.

Applications are due December 7, 2016, and class sizes are very limited. So don't wait! Check out the full lineup of 2017 Master Classes, choose your course, and get ready to learn a new technique starting on June 5, 2017!
