The Beaded Giraffe: A Bead Gallery



			Are you an experienced beader/designer, or are your venturing for the first time into the wonderful, colorful world of beads? Either way, The Beaded Giraffe is your "beading place" in Bethesda.

In the Spotlight:

After a short hiatus, instructor Victoria Smith-Moore returns to teach an Introduction to Wire class. Working in fine gauge sterline silver wire, you will learn how to make jump rings, coils, ear wires and wire wrapping techniques. Please visit our Calendar of Classes for more details.

New and Exciting:

Murano Glass Blown Beads

TBG is now carrying authentic Murano glass blown beads created in a real Murano glass furnace or in small laboratories using "glory holes". Using a technique called filigrana, the glass blower first takes a blowpipe and rolls over canes of colored glass giving the striping in each bead. We have a variety of wonderful shapes in spirals or straight striping. Don't confuse our one-of-a-kind Venetian blown beads with inexpensive copies. These are beautiful, sparkling, authentic Venetian glass beads!
