I'm so lucky to live close and to have found this shop. As others have said, it's much more than a "shop." It's a beautiful art space that encourages creativity in each guest with the help of infinitely patient instructors. But more important, Bead Soup is a place for fellowship, good cheer and finding the artist in everyone.

So glad to have found Bead Soup. Kathy and Jo are wonderful -- they are knowledgeable about beading techniques and offer excellent color suggestions. The store offers a little bit of everything and is like "bead soup", a mixed bag of beads. I have enjoyed my times there on free beading days and have taken several of the Designer Workshops. Thank you Kathy and Jo. And "cheers" to many more years of success.
