What Is The Radke Circle?
A society of art patrons, collectors and hobbyists.
For years, you've admired Paula Radke's dichroic glass beads in online photos. You've maybe even bought a few pieces. But have you ever wished you could be inside the creative process—the first to see new colorways, the first to claim limited pieces, the one Paula thinks of when she pulls something truly special from the kiln?
That's what The Radke Circle is.
This is a collector's inner circle. A community of people who understand that handmade dichroic glass isn't just a bead—it's light captured in layers, it's art you can hold, it's a conversation starter that makes people say "Where did you get that?"
And now, for the first time, Paula is opening her studio to a small group of Founding Members who want exclusive access to her work.

Exclusive Founding Members
A society of art patrons, collectors and hobbyists.
Here's what most people don't realize: This pricing will never be available again.
Once all 30 Founding Member spots are claimed, the price goes up—and stays up. Forever.
Beadsmith jumps to $49/month (you pay $39.20 for life)
Artisan jumps to $99/month (you pay $79.20 for life)
Collector jumps to $249/month (you pay $199.20 for life)
Let's do the math: If you join as a Founding Artisan today, you save $19.80 per month. Over two years, that's $475 saved—enough for an entirely separate piece of Paula's jewelry.
But it's not just about the savings. It's about being part of the origin story. Your name will forever be linked to the launch of The Radke Circle. You'll receive a digital Founding Member certificate (suitable for framing) and a physical Founding Member card that Paula will sign by hand.
And when Paula inevitably closes enrollment—because, let's be honest, a this artist can only serve so many people—you'll already be inside.
First 30. That's it. After that, the doors close for Founding pricing.

FAQs
Q: What if I need to cancel?
A: You can cancel anytime, no penalty. We'll be sad to see you go, but we get it—life happens. Your Founding Member pricing is yours forever if you rejoin later (as long as you were in good standing when you left).
Q: When do I get my first beads?
A: Your first shipment goes out the 1st of the month following your join date. So if you join January 15, your first beads ship February 1. (Exception: Founding Members who join before January 31 will receive BOTH January and February beads in their first shipment as a thank-you.)
Q: Can I upgrade or downgrade my tier?
A: Absolutely. Email us anytime. If you upgrade, you keep your Founding Member discount on the new tier. If you downgrade, same deal—you keep the discount.
Q: What if I don't like a monthly bead?
A: We've never had this happen (seriously), but if it does, let us know. We'll work something out—maybe a swap from Paula's inventory or a credit toward your next purchase. We want you thrilled every month.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Not yet, but we're working on it. For now, US addresses only. (If you're international and *really* want in, email us—we'll figure it out for Founding Members.)
Q: What if Paula retires?
A: Great question, and here's the honest answer: The Radke Circle is designed to make the next few years sustainable and joyful for her. If someday she can't fulfill memberships, we'll give you 60 days' notice and a plan (like converting to store credit, or allowing a student to continue under her guidance). We'll always take care of you.
