Love her art! She took the time to explain how some of the items were made & has a beautiful selection. We all loved the variety of colors and the beauty of her jewelry & platters- & SO personable! All 3 of us women purchased at least one item: a beautiful cross bag, a couple of pairs of earrings and a beautiful glass pendant necklace! We will definitely be returning!Thank you Paula!Teresa, Gabriela & Karen

Love her artistic pieces! Walked into her shop. Paula took the time to explain how some of the items were made. She has a beautiful selection. We all loved the variety of colors and the beauty of her jewelry & platters - and she was SO personable! Each of the 3 of us women purchased at least one item: a beautiful cross body purse, a couple of pairs of earrings and a beautiful glass pendant necklace! We will definitely be returning! Thank you Paula! Teresa, Gabriela & Karen

I was in Paula's store with my mom this past weekend. She has absolutely gorgeous pieces. I was looking at a leather strap bracelet with a large glass charm. I couldn't decide between two colors. She suggested I buy one with the leather strap and she would sell me the second charm separately at a lesser price without having to buy a whole separate band even though they weren't displayed to sell that way. She gave me a great deal on the beautiful items. My mom and I also had a very nice conversation with her and really felt we connected. Lovely lady and I'm so happy with my purchases. She left such an impact that my mom wanted to look up her art work online and we were just discussing how much we enjoyed our interaction. Will definitely return next time we're in the area. Thank you again Paula.

I went there and lady was absolutely rude and unprofessional. Kinda bi-polar when briefly talking with her. Got a bad vibe in all, she kinda rushed us out of her gallery?? Weird overall.... she doesn't need to have a business if she wants the business. I wish u all the luck in all you do! Wouldn't recommend this place at all to No One! Tip: " Nicer & More Approachable! "

My husband and I LOVE LOVE LOVE glass art, and I was very excited to read about (on Yelp) a shop in Morro Bay (along the Embarcadero) that would feed our hunger for viewing this stuff. I called on Monday to get her hours, and although she gave me the times for Tuesday, neither she nor I knew she was going to take Tuesday off, which she did. So when we arrived at her shop to witness it being gated up, we figured she was just out to lunch. Thank goodness there was a sign to call her if we had questions. My question was "when will you be back?" Well, she had decided NOT to come in, she was exhausted and took the day off. DRAT. That said, we could see everything in the store from the front window and even through her gate. I would have liked to view it up close of course and maybe even purchase something, but that wasn't meant to be for THIS visit. Now I know where Paula Radke is located, and while it may be awhile, I can assure that we WILL be back. She has some VERY cool stuff, and even from afar, we LOVE her work. Timing IS everthing.

Beautiful store! And wonderful owner! We were browsing and mentioned making jewelry out of some beads we were going to purchase when the owner came out and offered to help us; she then assisted us (at no cost!) in creating a gorgeous pair of earrings. So kind and generous. And her work is fantastic. Highly recommend!

I'd give her no stars if I could. Met her today in her shop because I was a fan of her beads and wanted to buy a few. She rudely shut the light off in her bead room while I was in there, saying it hurt the ambiance of her shop. Husband and I were only ones there entire time. It was disturbing. I won't be back. She's lost me as customer.

Met Paula today in her shop as I wanted to buy beads, since I make jewelry, am an avid beader and a longtime fan of her glass beads. I asked her if I could see her beads she had for sale. She allowed me into her small closet-sized bead room, next to her front counter, to look at beads. Since that small room was dark, she turned a light on so I could see the bead strands hanging on the wall. She said the room didn't have proper lighting like the rest of her shop did. Minutes later, I had just chosen a few strands and had them in my hand when she came into room again and told me that the lighting in that small bead room put off the lighted ambiance of her shop, which is a large space and fully lighted. I didn't think anything of it and continued to look at beads. After a few more seconds, she turned the light off in the bead room! I was in the dark basically and could no longer see the beads on the wall! My husband and I were the only ones in her shop the entire time! After still trying to be nice to her in making a purchase, I finished paying for the few bead strands that I already had in my hand and left the shop. I won't be back. I believe myself to be an empathetic person and can understand if someone is having a bad day etc. thus I still went through with the purchase of the beads I had chosen that were in my hand. However, after buying beads in past years at her former shop in Morro Bay, and really being excited this time to visit her new shop during my current visit to Morro Bay, then feeling honored to finally meet her, I must say being treated so rudely was a big letdown. No longer a fan or customer.

Ms. Paula, the artist owner, is super friendly and knowledge about GLASS. Anything about glass, just ask away! Great local guide for local information. Decades as a resident in Morro Bay. Fabulous selections of glass merchandises such as glass beads, glass plates that look like museum quality, glass jeweleries, plus more. Must stop location when you visit Morro Bay for short visit or long term stay. A small town with a big city flavor.

I'll try to make this brief and to the point. I discovered Paula Radke Beads back in 2004 or 2005 while starting my jewelry making passion! Her opaque Colors are SO vibrant - and I am a PRIMARY COLORS girl! All of her beads are made with the exceptional talent of Paula. AND, She is a kind and artistic soul - creative and SO TALENTED! I no longer make jewelry (Fibro) but I still love looking at the gorgeous glass beads. Her prices are extremely fair (!) especially when you consider the colors achieved that others merely TRY to imitate. It's mother's day and because of COVID-19, I can not see my 100 year old mom, nor my 3 grand kids or their parents! Plus I just smoked a joint. PEACE! Love you, Paula!!

I stumbled on Paula's art glass shop while heading to Dutchman's for lunch on the Morro Bay Embarcadero. Paula is a true artist and is more than willing to share her love for her craft with those visiting her store. Great place to pick up gifts for loved ones or to brighten up your home (or ears since she also makes earrings!) with colorful glass!
