Coming to Tucson in February 2008?

Please come visit us at our first Jeweler's Resource Bureau's Designer Marketing Academy -- three days of designer jewelry business seminars conducted by me and Marlene Richey.

We're running it at the beautiful, historic Manning House during the Manning House Bead Show. The Manning House is located in downtown Tucson near many of the best gem shows -- see their website at www.mhbeadshow.com.

Wed., Thurs, & Friday, February 4-6, 2009.

Our classes are for all designers -- not just those that work with beads. We are using this beautiful space as our home base for seven business classes to help you "grow and prosper" (our company motto!). We're also doing one-on-one consultations and client meetings, too. The Manning House is just the right ambiance to focus on your business for a while inbetween gem hunting.


Learn how to start and run a jewelry design business while growing your marketing and sales acumen.


It's one thing to make beautiful jewels and it's quite another to make a living at it. If you want to get your handmade jewels into the hands of others and turn a profit by doing that then these are the classes for you.

Take one, two, three or all seven classes and ramp up your business for the new year.

Special pricing is available for multiple classes.


You'll be more prepared to take your business further than you ever have and increase your sales and marketing exposure, too. You'll connect more with retailers, consumers, editors and all sorts of business entities that can help you grow and prosper.

We're offering Speed Coaching sessions with either or both of us each afternoon for one-on-one advice at the special Manning House Bead Show rate of $2 per minute. Bring your portfolio, your designs, your marketing materials and anything else you want feedback on. Book early so as not to get closed out!
