Are you a Do-It-Yourselfer?
No Problem!
Beading Paradise has an array of changing classes to educate you in all the latest trends & techniques. Classes are offered at all levels-beginner to advanced-and at all ages-youth to adult.
We have worked very hard to learn skills that are not currently offered elsewhere in town. We have also invited guest instructors to teach some of these classes to broaden the selection available to you.
Classes are held on Thursday evenings from 6-8 p.m. and during the day on Saturdays. All classes are a one time session; all materials are included unless otherwise noted. A 20% discount is offered the day of class to be used on beads, tools, finished jewelry, etc.*
*Discount not good on gift certificates, class fees, or in conjunction with other sales.
If you have a group of five or more interested in a scheduled class, you may schedule that class at an alternate time. A non-refundable $25 deposit is required.

Bead & Button Show 2008 is the first week in June. If you are interested in going to the show and buying beads, please let us know. It would be fun to have a beading road trip. We have to figure out feasibility and logistics and such before it is a done deal--but I'm planting the seed in your brains!
