Top 10 jewelry teachers in US

Dec 28, 2011 by Art-d

To identify our top 10 jewelry teachers, we ran a survey and asked respondents to write in the names of their favorite instructors. The survey was open to the public and was answered by our readers, BeadAndButton.com visitors, and Bead&Button Show enthusiasts. At first we were ecstatic to receive 229 names of teachers, plus a cascade of compliments about them. We quickly realized, however, that we would have to name just 10 of these wonderful teachers to our list. Not all of the best  teachers can be in our top 10, but the 10 people mentioned most in the survey are highly representative of all great instructors of beadwork, wirework, polymer clay, metal clay, and mixed media.
