I've never met anyone else who works with seed beads as small as the ones I prefer to use! This store carries more delightful beads and supplies for the types of projects I like to do than I've ever seen at any other bead store, except maybe a single vendor at Crow Fair who had brought beads from a Colorado store for the pow-wow.
The woman who owns the shop is friendly, knowledgeable, fun to talk to, and very helpful. The lighting is amazing, and must make for a wonderful space to do beadwork. The store is well laid out, spacious, and extremely well organized, which can be a challenge for selling beads (or even organizing one's own collection!). It's also really easy to find, and to park near. I was so thrilled to find this store; in the 25 years I've been doing beadwork this is by far my favorite, and the best I've found in North Carolina.
I look forward to finding a way to participate in the classes/project tutorials the owner hosts, I'd very much like to sign up for some with the goal of finding a suitable project for me to teach someday. I'm very excited to continue getting great seed beads, gemstone beads, findings, tools, accent beads, and organizational supplies (many of which I've never seen before) as soon...
Read moreBeautiful beads as well as high quality. Quaint shop that is just heavenly. I was greeted by the owner upon arrival. She is just a doll. The best in person customer service ive ever received. Not only that but she made the other customers feel the same way i did, like they were her most important customer. Awesome feeling for all of us when spending our hard earned money. She is full of Knowledge and willingness to help. The store just glistens from floor to ceiling. The Studio has its regular's there and they are knowledgeable, friendly and treated me as if i was one of their group. You can bead in house or take a personal class. The prices are great. I live 45 minutes away but if i were local i could see it being a girls hangout. LOVELY Studio and YES i will be returning....
