One of my favorite places to teach is The Beaded Moose in Bangor, Maine. (Dora Petry's phenomenal bead store, on Outer Hammond Street.) Not only does she carry a huge variety of supplies for both the beader and the wire-wrapper, but Dora also has a large, friendly work area. You can stop by to take a class or just to find a quiet place to sit, visit and work on your latest creation for a while. (Dora is also a well-known animal rescuer and her shop is home to several, wonderful therapy animals too.)
