This is my local bead store. Sue has an excellent selection of seed beads, several of my pendants, lots of beautiful lampwork, as well as a great selection of African imports, including trade beads. Osiris is an excellent place to take classes as well, of course I would say that, because I teach there!
This isthe website of my friend and mentor, Mari Johnson. She is an incredible lampwork artist, and an incredible person to boot. Visit her site and see the beauty that she creates!
The owners of this store are experts at identifying trade beads! Great selection of gemstones, tools, and sterling silver here.... their webstore is fantastic as well!
This is a borosilicate glass artist that makes the most incredible sea turtles, horses, and fish sculptures! She is also a very good friend, and lives in the same town as me!
