Recent reviews of Beaded Plants Workshop

  • 5/5 from Olga Crowe, attended Nov 2026: I have taken many classes over the last few years at the studio. It is excellent. If you are a novice, you will get patient guidance how to create your art. If you are experienced, you may get more creative ideas. Win-win all around.
  • 5/5 from Debra Callen, attended Nov 2026: Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon crafting beads to look like a potted plant. Janet made the experience fun providing quick instructions and thousands of beads to choose from to create our masterpiece. Located in Alameda with plenty of free street parking. Best of all you go home with a finished project which is a super satisfying feeling.
