About Us

Welcome to Native Hands Co. — where tradition meets creativity.

Hi, I’m Marian — a proud Yavapai-Apache (from my mother) and Hopi (from my father). I was born and raised in Arizona but now live in beautiful Idaho with my family, which includes four dogs, three cats, two horses, and a lively flock of chickens!

My love for beading was born at the kitchen table, watching my mother craft pieces she sold at the local trading post — often just to buy more beads! That tradition has stayed with me, even if my hands aren’t quite as nimble as they used to be.

Native Hands Co. was created from that deep-rooted passion. Through this shop, I share my love for beadwork and Native artistry by offering a curated selection of beads, findings, Pellon, beading patterns, and more. My goal is to support your creative journey with quality supplies that inspire.

I’m continually expanding our inventory, so thank you for your patience and support as Native Hands Co. continues to grow. I'm honored to be part of your creative process.
