With their humble beginnings in stone and shell, beads are a component of practical, decorative and ceremonial designs, that have been a staple for artists for countless generations. Beaded textiles and artwork are a tradition dating back thousands of years. From ancient Greece and Egypt, across the expanse of Asia and the European continent, well into the Americas and beyond...remnants of ancient beadwork can still be found to this day.  

Advances in micro-machining and global trade have brought modern glass beads to the stunning level of perfection we enjoy today. Among the many types of beaded needlework that exist...from jewelry making to beaded clothing...bead embroidery on canvas is one of the easiest to learn, yet results in rewarding masterpieces--perfect for gifting, teaching, or use in the home.

Here at Emmy Arts, we strive to provide the highest-quality bead embroidery kits and supplies to pair the advances of modern innovation with the timeless beauty of natural canvas designs. Ranging from small ornament kits to framed wall art, this is a unique product rarely seen on the American market.
