Just  as the Lost Dutchman did so long ago, you will find "treasure" in the foothills of the Superstition Mountains. Some of these treasures include amber, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and malachite, as well as agates, jaspers and other semi-precious gemstones. Other treasures include Swarovski crystal beads, freshwater and Biwa pearls, fire polished and seed beads (8/0 - 14/0) from the Czech Republic. We have a small selection of African trade beads as well as beads, seeds, tagua nut (also known as vegetable ivory) and bamboo beads from the Columbian Craft Connection. We have over 300 colors of Delicas, as well as over a dozen colors of size 11/0 or 12/0 seed beads in the hard to find "old style" or "traditional" colors, like greasy yellow and greasy blue.

Want to learn how to bead? We offer classes in beadweaving, kumihimo, wire wrapping and basic stringing/beading techniques.  Basic beading techniques are taught on YOUR schedule, at YOUR convenience at no charge - as in FREE! (You do pay for materials, but you are welcome to bring in your own beads, findings and tools, regardless of where you got them!)

Our shop features an open "bead bar" (okay, so it's just our worktable in the back <ha,ha>) that is available any time we are not holding a class, if you need space to work on a project or need help in working out a problem.
