In the pictures above, myself demoing for John Bead Corp at Bead Fest in KOP last year. Those demos were one of the 2010 highlights for me. I usually only demo for Beadalon and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS and there is already a comfort level established. Demos are tricky things and we don't always get a good crowd.
Trade Shows tailored to the businesses offered a much better environment for a successful demo, but as you can see in the picture, sometimes the general public does want to pay attention and learn a little more.
Considering that there are many people who remains clueless about the simplest jewelry making techniques, it was great to be able to share a little of my knowledge in a different space, surrounded by the JB's crew.
