Glass and bead shop breaks into art world

Glass With Class Bead Store sells loose beads, Swarovski crystals, finished jewelry, glass pendants and artwork. Beads range from glass and sterling silver beads to natural stones and freshwater pearls. The store also sells findings, which are parts used to make jewelry.
Mansfield began thinking about the business earlier this year. She received advice from friends in Tennessee on getting the store open. Glen and Sue Gothard have a bead store in Gatlinburg, Tenn. Mansfield met Sue Gothard in a beading class and kept in contact with her when she moved from Linden to Tennessee.
Glass With Class Bead Store offers classes in glass and beaded jewelry. Mansfield produces an array of glass dichroic pendants. To make them, she chooses three colors of glass and fuses them together. Link
