Default 1st timer B&B (Possibly Dumb) Question...

This will be my first time attending the Bead and Button show in Milwaukee. I know they are teaching lampworking classes and having the Flame Off (I signed up for a class and the Flame Off!). But will there be people there selling glass and tools etc.? I know there will be lots of folks selling gemstones, findings, and lampwork beads, but wasn't sure about the glass...

I was going to place a glass order online tonight and then thought - wait! If they are selling glass at B&B, I can just pick out my glass at the show and bring it home with me - and not pay shipping.

Bring an extra (empty) suitcase.
I'm presuming that you are driving there.
Otherwise, it's not a great idea to fly with
a bunch of loose glass in your suitcase
(ask me how I know).

Another option is to bring packing materials with
you and then pack everything up and ship it back
to your house. The shipping will still be cheaper
than if the MFG did it.

I haven't checked out the vendor list for this year, but in years past ArrowSprings and Frantz have been there selling glass and some tools.
