Admission fees are $10 for a one day pass, $12 for a two day pass, and $14 for a three day pass. But, if you sign up for one of their many classes you will receive free admission to the Expo Hall. Registraton for classes is already open, and you'll find classes covering all kinds of techniques and media. Some techniques include metal etching, tubular Ndebele, fringing techniques, Russian leaves, and metal clay textures, just to scratch the surface for you.

Jean, Layla, and others: This year Bead Fest is not having the show, but I am continuing it under The Best Bead Show, with many of the same, as well as additional, exhibitors and classes. (I was part of Bead Fest last year.) The event is from April 24-26, 2009 at the same location: DoubleTree Merchandise Mart (used to be owned by Sheraton). All details can be found on bestbeadshow website. Please comment that you did view this post, as I have no other way to contact you. Thank you.
