WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN BEADS?!?!
If you want to buy my book and start on your own here's a link to my book, How to Make Glass Beads
Making beads can be a bit intimidating so I also offer private classes in my studio! Classes range from a 2 hour intro glass ($75) to an all day basic bead making class ($240). Please contact me direstly to arrange a time and if you bring a friend I can offer a 20% discount for each student.

My Story.......
I took a 4 hour intro class 10 years ago and have spent hours in front of the torch, practicing, creating and taking classes. The questions became what to do with all the beads I have made and the answer is here!
I have made thousands of beads that have been sold on ebay, bead stores both local and nation, to jewelry designers and in finish pieces sold in galleries. If you have a request not seen on my website (school colors, bridal colors or an outfit you want to match) feel free to email me and I can make a special order for you that you can either buy as loose beads or buy as finish pieces. I will work with you and be make it fair for both of us. Great gifts!
Check out the Beads and Jewelry link for more items!
I also donate a percentage of my profits and lots of finish pieces to auctions to support various organizations that help children, hence the name of my company, "Beads for Babes". In the past I have donated profits or beads to several organizations, including:
The Boys and Girls Club
Big Brothers / Big Sisters
Eastside Domestic Violence
Women to Women International
Thank you to all of my loyal customers for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Sue Lewis
