I'm a glass blower from Toledo, Ohio. I don't usually go to shows, but the Bead & Button Show is the ONE event that I'd really like to visit! I'm on the road teaching so much that I tend to stay close to home the rest of the time. My specialty is blown glass vessels and other hollow forms. I'm really into electroforming, and I always like to give my work a little "twist", visually, to set it apart from the rest. I'd love to teach at Bead & Button, but it seems every time I've checked, I have JUST missed the deadline. LOL! Maybe someone here can give me some insight as to the usual timetable for applications.

Tink,

I'm sorry to hear you keep missing our deadlines for teaching. The forms for teaching workshops and classes should be going live on the website in spring, with the final deadline is always in July.  We would need a submitted online application and a printed copy along with a sample of your class/workshop.

 I hope that helps!

Hey Tink,

You NEED to come to B&B.  We'd have a ball.

 B&B staff...I have taken a class with Tink and she's fabulous.  She's also a friend.  Her classes are so much fun.  I am able to do things now that I never thought I'd be able to do before taking it.
