In 1987, Dawn resurrected a box of beads from her childhood
and began making jewelry and other custom items. From casual sales and
a booth in the Farmers’ Market, Dawn’s jewelry led
to a small, one-room shop, where customers began to take an interest in
her materials. That led her to sell the beads themselves and to begin
conducting classes in jewelry-making and beadwork. Dawn’s
collection grew, the classes grew, and the store grew, eventually
moving to a converted arts and crafts style house on Washington Street,
just a block down from the Farmers’ Market where it all began.
Today, the collection at Dawn’s Hide & Bead Away has
grown to be one of the best and most diverse in the world. Dawn and her
knowledgeable, friendly staff teach a wide range of
courses—and, of course, Dawn’s own custom jewelry
and glass-work continue to draw enthusiastic fans. [to
