Africa in Venice

Event organised by Collection Muranero

Different techniques and types of decoration will be shown, and explained the processes of the creation of a blown bead with copper.
During the demonstration will be also illustrated the different reactions obtained by making different types of glass interact with each other, whether they are compatible or not.
