Take a Beading Class at Firefly

Find Your Creative Community at Firefly

Tucked inside Carr Mill Mall’s historic brick walls, Firefly is more than a bead shop — it’s a gathering place.

 

Owner Melanie Jackson has built something rare here: a bright, welcoming space where creativity and conversation go hand in hand.

 

Firefly’s beading classes are expanding, and there’s never been a better time to pull up a chair. Whether you’re picking up a needle for the first time or you’re a seasoned artisan looking for your people, the classes are designed to meet you where you are.

Don’t be surprised if you come for the beads and stay for the community. Melanie describes it best: “the talking is a big thing” — and the connections made here have a way of sticking around long after the bracelet is finished.
