Bead Artistry, Fresno

The mother and daughter team behind Bead Artistry make their living from making beautiful beadwork. They also draw joy from sharing their passion with others. They sell plenty of premade jewelry, but one of their signature products is the beading kit that comes with everything a person needs to duplicate one of the creative duo's designs. For more experienced beaders, they offer a range supplies with which to create any project imaginable.

Apparently not getting enough of beads in their day-to-day work in the shop, the family invented another reason to celebrate the art form. They recently organized the brand new show, Heart of California Bead and Adornment Expo, an event dedicated to beadwork and wearable art.
