The Pasadena Bead & Design Show returns this Friday through Sunday (July 25–27) at the Pasadena Convention Center, spanning both exhibit halls to showcase three days of handcrafted artistry, creative workshops, and community connection.
Now in its 17th year, the summer edition brings together over 300 exhibitors—from jewelry makers and bead artisans to textile designers, gemstone specialists, and mixed-media creators. Visitors can expect booths full of handcrafted jewelry, vintage jewelry, beads, gemstones, ancient and tribal beads, findings, artwear, and unique crafting materials.
Hands-On Jewelry-Making Workshops
The show features interactive metalworking sessions where attendees can learn to solder, shape, texture, and finish metal pieces—from rings and pendants to custom charms. Led by experienced instructors, these workshops are designed to help makers of all skill levels bring their own jewelry ideas to life.
Established as a premier event in Southern California’s craft scene, the show invites artisans, collectors, and DIY enthusiasts to celebrate over a decade of craftsmanship and innovation—from hand-cut stones and lampwork beads to eco-dyed artwear and upcycled fashion.
Explore a world of beauty, quality, and personal creativity—this weekend, everything handmade comes to life at Pasadena Bead & Design.
