Help! We Need Beads!

Would you like to help support Beadstock and the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum? We are on the lookout for donations of trade and seed beads or beadwork we can sell at our Beadstock event. No need to go looking, any extra beading supplies you have lying around will be greatly appreciated!

If you are so inclined, we will also accept purchases of beads and beading looms. Click here for easy access.

We want to give a big shout-out to Susan, Lynn, and the Little Bull for donating a whole assortment of glass, wood, gemstone, seed, bugle, and pony beads for Beadstock! Thank you for your generosity!

We appreciate your support and anything bead-related you can give!
