Walnut Creek Bead and Design Show

Everyone is welcome –bohemians, designers, and bead collectors. Explore the handmade arts, and visit 150 artisan shops, exhibits, galleries, and workshops under one roof. Relax at the bar --socialize with other artful-minded souls --or watch designers and craftspeople demonstrate their work.

Shop and buy direct from the source at prices that eliminate the middleman --one-of-a-kind accessories including art jewelry, gems, lampwork beads, vintage and upcycled clothing, eco-dyed fabrics, handwoven textiles, embellishments, resources, and mixed media.
