Having fun while learning and, for someone, even remembering. The workshops, promoted by the Venice Glass Week and organized by the Municipality of Venice in collaboration with the Educational Services of the Fondazione Musei Civici in the area of Forte Marghera, have been designed for both adults and children thanks to Luisa Conventi’s availability and professionalism. Creating with seed beads (conterie) means gaining experience in a manual skill that still allows you to create incredibly beautiful objects. Glass jewels that perpetuate an art linked to a very important industry that in the twentieth century made the island of Murano the most important production center of seed beads, to which everyone turned because with these small monochrome glass rings a lot of things were decorated: clothes, shoes, handbags, lampshades. A free event that will bring to mind how a tiny bead encloses a real world and a beauty as contagious as fascinating, at any age and in any time.
11 September: kids (6-12 years old); 13 September: adults
Special thanks go to Augusto Panini, scholar and international expert on pearls, curator of the exhibition at the Glass Museum and of the related catalog "A world in a pearl".
A heartfelt thanks to him for the passion and dedication he lavished on the knowledge and disclosure of pearls.
Organized by: Comune di Venezia
