Welcome to Findings, a friendly, service-oriented bead store on the West Side of Ann Arbor. Findings (for artists & seekers) was founded on the premise that each of us has our own sense of creativity, and our shop can be a safe place for us to find that space within ourselves, thus our byline: “More than beads and classes.” Findings is blessed with an outstanding staff, each of whom brings her own creative spirit to our space. We invite you to come and browse for inspiration, share your projects and ideas, take a class, or use us for help when you have questions.

Findings offers classes that cater to everyone from the novice beader to the seasoned veteran in a bright and spacious classroom. We are proud to host some of the best teachers in the country, who are knowledgeable and helpful, including some who are recognized nationally for their unique beading designs. Our classes run the gambit from “Kids Camps,” and basic stringing and wire work to complex on-and-off-loom weaving techniques. Whether you like simplicity or intricacy, you will find a class to fit your style and abilities.

Findings is a full-service bead shop. We are known for our large selection of seed beads from 15° to 6°, including Delicas, and we also carry triangles, cubes, drops, and bugles, all of various sizes. If your penchant runs more to stringing, we have pearls, stones, Swarovski crystals, Czech and pressed glass, silver, and heishi. We have a wide selection of stringing materials and tools for you to accomplish most any beading project. We carry all the tools and wire you need for basic wire working. Nearly every project has a supply list of findings, and we have what you need from jumprings to toggle clasps including some harder-to-find supplies like sterling silver magnetic clasps and mini crimps. Still can’t find what you’re looking for? We can make a special order, just let us know!
