Welcome to The Great British Bead Show 2011 Workshop Schedule!

The Show gets off to an exciting start on Thursday with more classes than ever before.  On Friday, Saturday and Sunday we have selected a variety of subjects featuring different techniques, mixed media and lots of colour to tempt and inspire you, from some of your favouite tutors and some new tutors too.

On Sunday a number of half day classes are available which are suitable for all levels.

We have tried to guide you in the workshop descriptions, however if you are in any doubt as to which classes you will benefit from most, contact: Sylvia Fairhurst 01908 311243, who will be happy to talk things through with you.

The class selection process is by draw to be fair to everyone. To be eligible for the draw your competed form must reach us by 4th December 2010. Bookings received after 4th December will be allocated on a first come first served basis. 

Confirmation of places will be sent to you by 31st Jan 2011.

After the initial draw, details of any remaining places will be posted on the website for late comers to consider.
