I love going to trade shows that deal with beads, art products and crafts! They are a hub of energy, creativity and inspiration. And, it gives us a chance to meet established customers and greet new customers.
Fall is the time for trade shows and two that BeadFX participates in all of the time are sponsored by local beading societies:
Fall Bead and Jewellery Fair
Friday, October 14; 1:00pm to 6:45pm
Saturday, October 15; 11:00am - 5:00pm

Bead Societies are a great way to meet other like-minded people and see what other members do. Don't let the name deceive you - membership in bead societies cover the entire gamut of jewellery-making techniques! BeadFX will, with proof of membership, provide a 15% discount on regular priced merchandise to all bead society members! For more information, call or email our order desk.
