Emma A finalist of the Saul Bell Awards

Once again we are literally bursting with pride. Our Metal Clay Artist and Instructor has made it into the finals of the incredibly prestigious Saul Bell Awards. Not only is she the only finalist from the UK in the Metal Clay Category, she is the ONLY UK FINALIST in the entire competition. A huge achievement and we wish her all the luck in the next stage of judging.


We are nearly FIVE

In February we will be FIVE years old!! We are proud to be the first Bead Shop in Edinburgh, and to be the first Metal Clay Course provider in Scotland!!! Over the years, though some things (like our location) have changed, what has not is the heart of our business - our Courses. We have an outstanding reputation for our Metal Clay & Beading Courses, with students traveling form around the world to learn with our Metal Clay Instructor and Artist, Emma Baird. In 2012 we will be launching an exciting edition to our services, plans for which are already underway. Keep your eyes peeled - Art Clay Scotland and The Little Bead Shop have grown up!
