Your Bead for Venice

Event organised by Comitato per la Salvaguardia dell'Arte delle Perle di Vetro Veneziane

In collaboration with International Society of Glass Beadmakers, Association des Perlieres d'Art de France

The Committee CPVV, the International Society of Glass Beadmakers (ISGB) and Association des Perliers d'Art de France (APAF),with the Murano Glass Museum-that showcases the 20 finalists- present the 4° edition of the International Glass Bead Competition dedicated to the Art of the Traditional Venetian Glass Beadmaking.
For this competition we were looking for glass beads that are either made by traditional Venetian techniques or are inspired by Venetian techniques and styles.
During the exhibit, a jury will judge the beads in person and choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winner based on technical criteria. But not only that: the public of the Museum is invited to vote for their favourite bead during their visit.
Come and choose Your Bead For Venice!
