La Perlerie

Based in Toronto, La Perlerie, Beads, Supplies & Gallery is a great place to shop and learn all about beads and flameworking.
Using their high quality beads and materials, La Perlerie also offers
instruction to help customers design and create their own jewellery and accessories. Or simply shop the store for a pre-​made creation!
I myself purchased a design by local group Citrus Silver for my wife. I purchased the large shiny black onyx beaded necklace for $ 100.00
With group and private instruction available, you have different choices on how to experience the craft. Unfortunate I didn’t have the time to do it myself, but will more than likely go back to experience and learn at the flameworking studio.
Flameworking is a type of glasswork that uses a gas fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass. Its a pretty old craft that isn’t hard to learn!
The experience of this place is great. You get to learn a lot, and can also spend a lot at the same time.
