JellyBeads of Mogo opened in August 2005 in the loft above the Blue Fox Café at the northern end of Mogo before moving next to the Mogo Nursery in the centre of the village. At the end of last year we moved to Mogo Cottage located next to the old church. Previously, we sold our beads regularly at the Moruya Country Markets.

At JellyBeads, we love to share our knowledge and love of beads.
We offer a delicious range of beads from around the world. They look good enough to eat. A love of Asian design led us to bring in a range of Cloisonné, Enamel, Ceramic, Cinnabar, Boxwood and Peking Glass beads. We have also built up a wide range of Japanese Seed Beads from Miyuki and Matsuno including Delicas. This range continues to expand.

We carry a good range of sterling silver findings and beads from Bali and gold findings. Our other products include; freshwater pearls, mother of pearl beads, coral, semi-precious beads together with lamp work and foil beads from China. We have also introduced high quality tools made especially for us in green and purple combo. We also carry a range of handmade lamp work beads from a number of Australian lamp workers. Traditional beads from Greece, Africa and Kashmir are also stocked. Our latest traditional beads from Kenya are Kazuri beads. Kazuri means “small and beautiful”.

We run classes regularly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. We run a Beading 101 class, which is suitable for beginners on the first Tuesday of every month. There is a bead club every Thursday this is to allow customers who need help finishing projects or need some ideas to get them started with a new project. We also offer one-on-one tuition during quieter times to teach you the basics or a particular technique so that you can further your skills and enjoyment of beading.

School holiday classes run daily. Our DIY table is available every afternoon. For a small cost per hour, you choose your beads, use our tools and space to design your own piece, make it and take it home that afternoon. There is always help available to get your started and finished. We also run activities for birthday parties and hens’ parties and will design activities to suit the skill level and to a budget.

Children are always welcome in our little shop. We pay jellybeans for beads picked up from the floor - hence our name.
