Great selection of beads and beading supplies. Wonderful class instructors and class variety. Lora and her helpers are always willing to help in any way they can. Only bead store I will purchase from

Great place to help stimulate your creativity! Wonderful atmosphere, all the assistance you need...or none at all! NO PRESSURE!! Great selection of classes...and if you need something specific and dont see it.....Lora will search for it and put in an order....I can not tell you the number of times I needed just the right bead, clasp, color or size of seed bead, S-lon, or filler crystal...and I found just what I needed! Well worth checking into!

I have been to a lot of bead stores and this is my absolute favorite. I have been buying beads from Laura for 15 years and theres a reason I keep coming back. She and her instructors are all exceedingly friendly, very knowledgeable and always willing to help. In my experience, her prices are typically more reasonable than local bead stores in general, and her selection is always interesting and exciting. Classes here are great too... A wide variety of stuff from basics liked wire work 101 to more advanced and unusual things like cutting metal or cuttlebone casting. Love this place and would recommend it to anyone.

The Bead Biz is a wonderful place to learn how to make jewelry. There are so many classes to take, knowledgeable instructors in just about anything you could want to learn. Lora Lunsford, the owner, will work wonders to find the perfect bead, thread, tool or finding to make you comfortable with the task at hand. There is working room at the table so you can ask questions and get answers to help finish your task. The only day the store is closed is Monday, everyone needs a day off and we respect that, although we have suggested a vending machine outside for the hardcore beader. Thank you Lora, you have a tough job but thank goodness you do it so well.

Just about everything you could possibly want and the quality is great! Will be back soon.

Repeat Customer: Bead Bizz is always on my list of stops when I am in the Helena area. Bead Bizzs service has been helpful, creative, and excellent in quality. When I have brought in a broken piece of beaded jewelry, and want a new look, they offer choices. When I want something new, they have more than enough to choose from. When they offer discounts and sale prices, those are greatly appreciated. Make a stop at Bead Bizz on your next trip through Helena.

High quality beads at reasonable prices!
