I took my 5th grade Girl Scout troop to a class lead by Shannon. The girls loved it! Shannon was very well prepared, taught the girls a lot about beading and jewelry making while making it fun for them. Everything was extremely organized and I highly recommend the classes especially for a group of older elementary kids or middle school. The girls enjoyed being creative and walked away from the class feeling proud of their new necklaces.

I recently took the beginners Bead class with owner, Shannon at Meant to Bead in Sun Prairie. First of all the store is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need, neatly arranged and with helpful staff. The class was very comprehensive and very organized. Shannon not only knows her craft, but knows how to teach it so everyone understands. She offers many tips and tricks of the trade. She teaches you what the tools are for and how to use and care for them properly. At the end of class you know how to make a bracele... read more

This is an awesome store they went above and beyond to help me locate a component I was missing for a promised special order for my customer. Not only did they locate the proper piece but also had it directly shipped from their supplier. I got it in three days and was able to have my customer’s order done and shipped out with only a slight delay! Thank you again! You saved my bacon!

Stopped in to browse clasps and found an amazing selection. Picked up what I needed and browsed the rest of the stores colorful selection and added a few additional items.

Similar to the T.A.R.D.I.S., it's much bigger on the inside. The corner storefront is very inviting. As you walk in you see all the pretty beads lining the walls. It didn't take long to hear a "hello" from the back. As I pondered the beads, I knew I wasn't go to leave empty-handed. I wandered to the back to find out if there were any trays to assist with shopping. There were. There's also a pad and pencil for you to write the code and number of beads you're purchasing. As I'm a novice, I stuck to the stringed and packaged be... read more

The selection and variety of seed beads, stones, glass beads, findings, threads, fibers, and everything new cannot be matched anywhere else in Dane County! And if you're looking for help, instruction, trouble shooting, or advice Shannon is the one to see. Also offering classes for bead stitching, stringing, wire work and kumihimo among other techniques in a spacious, comfortable well lit classroom. Not to be missed!
