If you missed the latest Bead& Button Show newsletter from Manager Marlene Vail, we can report that the 2009 teacher application is now live online. Click here for the application. There are separate applications for workshops, general education classes, and lampworking classes. The deadline for applying is July 31, 2008.

You must complete the online (electronic) application to qualify. Next, you need to print an additional copy of the application to mail with your jewelry sample. If your piece is accepted, you will need to provide a high-resolution digital photo of your jewelry. We recommend that you have your jewelry photographed professionally. If you can't do that, some helpful hints on taking your own digital photographs can be found here.
