Our story
Made by a beader, for beaders
A small Victorian studio with a big community.
On A String began with a problem I couldn't stop solving — I wanted beading tools that actually worked and teaching that actually made sense, so I started making both. We design and 3D print here in Victoria, write the patterns, teach the classes, and ship to makers all over the world.
