To Bead True Blue The handmade tradition reflects the ability of bead making, ceramics, metal working, glass art, and textile weaving to create personal symbols of renewal and restore pattern and design to its sacred origins by interlacing subsistentia (real substance) with elucus (vision), which gives counterbalance to mécanisation de la vie moderne. This is the inspiration to assemble the finest artists, artisans, and merchants, into a trade forum representing art jewelry, collectibles, textile art, artistic suppliers, direct importers, wearable art, handmade artistic glass, fused glass, fine enameling techniques, clay arts, antiquities, lapidary art, and interior décor. Location The 2009 To Bead True Blue has a new location, and will not be at the Manning House. The new location is the Doubletree Tucson Reid Park, 445 S. Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ. The Doubletree is centrally located across from Reid Park, and will have easy access from I-10 and the airport during the construction in downtown Tucson, with ample parking, and frequent shuttle service. The hotel rooms and ballrooms are being completely renovated and freshly decorated in warm desert hues. The hotel boasts an orange grove, swimming pools, tennis courts, two restaurants, and is across the street from historic Reid Park. The room block for To Bead True Blue attendees offers rooms that are reasonably priced, and the convenience of staying close to the show.
