Lots and lots of shopping and as far as classes, I could go for learning something new or learning more about something I already know something about.

I'd take one specialized class or a class with an artist I greatly admire, but I think I'd spend most of my time shopping!<br /><br />If you would like to take classes, what kind of classes would you take? <br />Something I couldn't get anywhere in So, Cal - most likely from a teacher whose work is a great inspiration. <br /><br />If you would like to buy beads, what sorts of beads would you be looking for? <br /><br />My main hunt is always for vntage or vintage inspired - these always make up the base I start with, but to make it modern I'd look for things that were timeless in feel and evoke great style.

I used to always take atleast one class, and the class I liked the most was a PMC class. I actually walked out of there with a fabulous pendant made by me!! But I always make sure I have a full day of shopping.

Also had the fun experience you described - meeting beaders I "knew" online - Cindy Wimmer and Lori Anderson, it was great! And I saw others I met last year. The top of my list was chain and I found lots of it, but never saw any solid copper chain, which was the top of the top. Regarding classes, I'd like to add soldering tiny things to my skills. First, I would need to be cloned!

I want to learn so many techniques -- things I don't trust myself to do by myself (esp. anything involving fire!). I would probably spend half my budget on classes, maybe a little like 75% and the rest on beads. Hard to tell.

If I was at the show, I'm going to imagine I have an unlimited budget, so I'd be shopping and taking part in classes. I'd love to take classes in lampwork, metalwork - things I am not skilled in and too scared to start by myself at home. And I would be stocking up on art beads and some lovely Czech glass.

I never truly realized how lucky I was that I used to live in northern Illinois, only a 45 minute drive from B&B!<br /><br />In answer to your questions:<br />- Beads. Definitely buying beads. :-)<br />- If I had been able to attend, I was already planning to take a lampworking class. I took a polymer clay class a couple of years ago, and it was great fun.<br />- I always stock up on seed beads and findings, but I love buying artisan beads (and supporting bead artists!).
