iTry Studios was born in 2015 when Kyle and Deb decided to retire from public school teaching in State College, Pennsylvania and launch a new venture in Alexandria, Minnesota. In July 2015, they opened the Potomac Bead store, a child company of Potomacbeads.com. In addition to offering all you need to create your own beaded jewelry, they offer an abundance of quality yarns, longarm quilting services, a plethora of classes to stimulate your creative juices and a small retreat center, iTry Inn, on Lake Minnewaska.
