I was so lucky to be able to attend Bead & Button this year. I hope to attend many more. I don't get many classes up here, so I took several.
I took a lampworking class which was taught by Hayley Tsang. It was a fascinating class taught by an enthusiastic and caring instructor. I got a couple of wonderful beads out of it using the fascinating reduction glasses. The glass turns wonderful colors when heat is applied carefully.

I also took a couple of wireworking classes, a resin class, and an exciting beadwork class. The latter was taught by Judy Walker. It was a class on how to bead three spheres, a small inside a medium and both inside a larger one. Her work is geometric and fascinating. Her web page is here: http://www.walkerpublications.comI can't wait to finish this one. I also bought her paper-clip loom, a no-warps method of looming, and I can't wait to make one of Judy's patterns.
