This shop is so much fun. From the whimsical fishbowl-themed floor and walls to the decor all around, there's something to see everywhere you look.
They have lots of classes at good prices and even a once-a-week "happy hour" where you can bring things you're working on and get help and mingle with others.
The bead selection is fantastic from simple to outlandish, all at good prices.
And Jim is a sweetheart who has a great eye for design and is always happy to help you with your project.

What a fabulous place! It is ALWAYS a treat to go to Bead Atelier! There is such a positive energy in the place! Jim is such a marvelous person. He is always very friendly, helpful, funny and kind. He makes it an adventure every time you walk in the door! Talk about everything you could want in the way of service?????? it is here! If you are an established bead artist, just beginning or have always wanted to try but don??????t know how to start Bead Atelier is the place to be! Jim and his staff have always been extremely helpful and patient with their guidance. When is comes to choices and prices they are hard to beat! I give ??????Bead Atelier?????? my highest recommendation for a truly wonderful bead establishment. It is more than a shop it is an experience and a pleasant, positive uplifting one at that!

Jim lost his mother on February 1st of 2008 and has closed the store during his grief. He's very sorry that he missed your business and wants folks to know that this is not typically how our customers are treated. Please be patient. Bead Atelier will be up and running again soon.

I would like to be able to write a raving review on this establishment. However, I can't get anyone to pick up the phone to even ask a question before I drag myself down there. This doesn't impress me as a prospective customer and will be taking my business and money elsewhere.
