What Makes Us Different?
While we are probably not the biggest bead store you have ever seen, we do have a great assortment of seed beads, Super Duos, druks, Fresh water pearls, semi-precious beads and focal pieces. We are more than just a place to purchase beads -- we are also a springboard for creative minds and hands and a place to explore and share ideas. We provide classes for various bead and fiber-related projects and encourage you to go beyond -- or not. The main idea is to have fun trying these neat projects. There's no pass or fail, it's just a learning experience so there's no pressure. If you just want to just come to a class and not say a word,that's fine too.
Over the years I've collected so many books and magazines of projects I've wanted to try, and now with the internet the list is boundless. But even with all this available, working with other people has that spontaneous spark you just don't get by reading. Each of us adds some input. I always remember the motto our professor drummed into us in my days as an art major, "You cannot create in a vacuum". So when you come to a class, we'll never know exactly where it will lead us but we can be reasonably sure the journey will be fun and productive.
Eventually, I'd like to see the store expand its bead inventory. I'd like to have our own line of kits available. I'd like to have more hours in the day. So, stay tuned and let's see where we go.
Of course, if you just want to come purchase the product of our erstwhile adventures, you are more than welcome to shop our mini gallery, and you can always buy beads.
