(See bottom of post for SPECIAL GIVEAWAY)
Workshops happen Aug. 15-19, 2012
Expo is Aug. 17-19, 2012
This is such a huge and fun bead show to attend as both a bead seller and bead buyer!
There is SO much to see, to buy, and to learn about while you are there.
And lots of social mingling to be had with friends from all over the world that come together for their love of all things beads.
There are FIVE Beads of Clay Professional Artisan Team Members selling work at this show.
Here is a color coded list of where you can find their work to help you find them when your brain gets completely Bead Zombified (overwhelmed by all the beady goodness that you see!)

We're looking to give folks a view on what it is like to go to a big bead show and have fun.
So make your photos interesting and have a really good time at the show!
PS - You might want to ask a vendor if you can photograph their booth instead of just assuming it is ok.
Some people are very funny about having their items photographed...
Let's see how many pink and purple ribbons we catch people wearing...
Love the diagrams! Thank you for them, I just printed them out so I can find the BOCPAT vendors easily! Looking forward to shopping and mingling with everyone.
