Ah, Tucson in February -- great weather, great things to see at the dozens of gem and bead shows and now, great education, too!
We're bringing our unique designer business workshops to Tucson this year -- Feb. 4-6 -- to help designers gain valuable insights and skills to go along with their new materials and components. First time in Tucson, we usually do this in NYC, and first time we're hosting so many in a row.
Join us for one, two or all seven classes -- your choice -- at the historic Manning House downtown near the Convention Center. The Manning House show is bead-centric but our classes are not. It's just a beautiful, convenient location that was offered to us.
Each class is $95 or $80 each for two or best of all, $70 each for three or more. Register on the Manning House website.
Our classes are:

We're also offering one-on-one speed coaching in the afternoons to help you put your plans into action. Bring your designs, plans, marketing materials -- whatever you need input on -- and we'll consult right there on the spot for the special rate of $2 per minute -- talk as long as you like.
Workshop registration is on the Manning House website and consultations can be booked via email to [email protected].
There's also fun to be had in Tucson so we hope to see lots of designers at:
Contemporary Deign Group's Annual Awards Dinner - Wed. 2/4
GemJammin' - our industry's own ad-hoc garage band playing at The Hut - Thurs. 2/5
And we'll be visiting the Centurion Show as well as the AGTA GemFair -- to see great designers and gem dealers, too.
