Great selection of Czech glass, semi precious choices are so-so. Prices are good, and the place has everything you need for better quality jewelry making.The owners, husband and wife team, have good taste. Husband is more of a people person and friendly, Wife is very very talented, good instructor, knowledgeable, but seems to become insecure with people who show talent and promise themselves and she can be a bit cold to them . just an observation, and an opinion of many. she just isn't a people person and youcan tell she wishes she was doing something else,rather than teaching her classes. bored maybe.All in all, this is one of the best beading, jewelry arts establishments. Excellent classes, guest Instructors, metalsmith studio space for customers to access which is great. Selection is excellent for beads, findings, stones, and tools. This place is worth a day trip from anywhere. Bristol, RI is fabulous... great shops, food etc.
