The artists are both local and national. We are continually adding new items to our inventory as well as new artists. Come down to Waverly Place and see what we have to offer.

	Our shop carries the flamework beads by Glenwood Glass and other exceptional flamework artists. We strive to bring our customers access to fine flamework beads that they can use in their own projects or just collect. Come down and see what we have for you to make your project a truly unique piece. Kaleigh Hessel of Glenwood Glass has been a finalist for three straight years in the Bead & Button Bead Dreams competition. In 2003 she finished in 2nd place in the flamework bead category with Desert Sunset Beads. Her 2004 entry Mists of Antiquity was a finalist but the competition only designated first place finishes. Now that Bead Dreams 2006 is over we can say that Kaleigh's submission was also a finalist. The name of the entry was Alien Life. We have set up the series in the window at the shop and we will place the original entry in the window when it is returned from Bead & Button. Kaleigh has been a finalist every time she has submitted an entry.	Click Here

	Kaleigh brought back many interesting and unique items from the Bead & Button Show. If you could not attend come on down and see if there is anything you need. Think of it as your own little piece of one of the largest bead shows in the country.
	PRECIOUS METAL FINDINGS We continue to increase the amount of packaged sterling silver findings. You will now find them on the wall next to the window display. We continue to carry individual findings for those of you who are coming into the store to complete your projects. As you all know the price of precious metals has increased significantly but due to our continued growth we have been able to locate new suppliers that have allowed us to hold the prices on some of the precious metal findings. We will do our best to hold prices and we all hope that the price of precious metals comes back down. We now have Sake silver toggles available at the shop. Look for them at the counter in front of the Lampwork Bead display.
	PRECIOUS METAL WIRE We continue to expand the size and types of precious metal wire that we carry. The wire is kept behind the counter and is cut to the length you need. It is sold based on the weight of the metal. We presently have fine silver, sterling silver and gold filled wire available in gauges from 12ga to 28ga. Most of the wire is round but there is square, half round, twisted, and beaded also available.
	FLAMEWORKING We carry a large selection of Morretti glass rods and dichroic glass strips for flame working. We carry both Bullseye flat glass and rods, as well as dichroic glass strips. These can be used for flameworking or fusing. We have a large selection of borosilicate glass rods, tubes and dichroic glass strips. Our borosilicate glass rods are Northstar and Glass Alchemy.
