The Summer Pasadena Bead & Design Show returns to the Hilton Pasadena August 5-7. Enjoy the beauty and meaning in design through contemporary handwork, lapidary, art couture, jewelry and bead making arts. Experience a world of handcraft, natural materials, textures, shapes, and colors.
Meet the artists, artisans, and tradespeople -showcasing vast and eclectic displays of new and old, traditional and contemporary, finished pieces and components. From hand printed fabrics, hand sewn clothing, handcrafted beads, and jewelry, to antique beads and ancient finds.
