This really is a fantastic online store – with an incredible range of beads and goodies as well as an equally impressive list of workshops on offer, from lamp-work to beginner stringing classes. Or why not join a Paverpol class were you will make your own unique garden sculpture to take home after just one lesson! The owner of 2 Bead or not 2 Bead, Lenore, prides herself on keeping up with the latest international fashion and jewellery trends and her store reflects that innate passion for high-quality beads, findings, tools and she has over 10,000 European charms to choose from including Chamilia, Bacio, Biagi and Tedora brands. But what really got us hooked on this store is its in-house café! Beading and a barista – the perfect blend. 2 Bead or Not 2 Bead is located on the upper level at 51 York Road, Penrith, NSW.
