  I had never beaded before and so I took a class at Beadology. It was so much fun! They provide the instructions (that you get to take home), beads, and give you guidance as you go through you become familiar with the process. I went to two classes (leaf pendant and earrings) and fell in love with beading. It's so meditative and satisfying. I make little earrings and things when I have time and it just makes me happy to look at. The store is amazing too. So many beads and colors! They also have finished jewelry you can purchase, with some very beautiful and unusual designs. Oh, and the owner is very nice and helpful too! Definitely recommended to anyone who is interested at all in beads 😊

  I wanted some random single beads to "dress up" some of my 12G body jewelry. I went in with low expectations and I was VERY MUCH surprised. In fact I had to go out and feed the meter for my prolonged stay! Not only was I directed to a table with a VERY large selection of potential singles but many potential beads were offered up from display cases throughout the store. I had choices from very inexpensive fun beads to more expensive art glass beads. GREAT selection and even GREATER staff support.

  Excellent customer service! Beautiful beads to choose from. We took in a inspiration pic and was assisted completely. We are so excited to create our one of a kind treasure for our bride to be.

  This has quickly become my favorite shop in all of Iowa City. The people are beyond welcoming and are always happy to help you understand a new technique or get started on a project. The classes have a wide variety of things to learn and offer a relaxing afternoon with a community of crafting regulars. They have open crafting on Thursdays where you can bring your own project to work on and chat with folks. The selection of glass beads, stone beads, supplies, and jewelry made by staff is top notch, too. Pushing is easy, with meters and a ramp nearby. Truly, a third space that makes the town better. Viva la bead shop.
