The
2011 Melbourne Bead Expo is on Friday the 11th to Sunday the 13th of November at the Kingston Town Hall in Moorabbin. It promises to be a
most brilliant affair.
Featuring beadwork by some of Australia's best beaders, the expo also brings together the nation's top beading suppliers, so you can browse and buy all you need to create your own designs at home.
There are breathtaking beads and gems, tools of the trade and exquisite finished artworks.
There's also plenty to learn and enjoy in 23 workshops to suit anyone from beginner to advanced. They're run by Australia's best, so you're sure to be both inspired and educated.
You might also like to try your hand at the annual Bead Challenge for a shot at some big prize money - or simply for the joy of creating something special with an interesting collection of crystal and glass beads.
Or perhaps pick up some affordable, unique jewellery or other lovely items for Christmas presents.
