Re-Blooming in the Lagoon. Workshop on the art of Glass Beadmaking with Holly Parr

Event organised by Holly Parr

In collaboration with Marisa Convento, Comitato per la Salvaguardia dell'Arte delle Perle di Vetro Veneziane e Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia

Holly Parr, an English artist and creator of beaded flowers, returns to Venice after presenting her large triptych dedicated to spring and leading hands-on workshops at the last edition of The Venice Glass Week.

On the occasion of the tenth edition of the Festival and as part of the photography exhibition "Perle di Luce-Beads of Light," she is holding a workshop at Bottega Cini dedicated to the collective creation of a composition of flowers and plants typical of the Venetian salt marsh. The resilience of the Lagoon’s botanicals become a symbol of nature's ability to adapt to the most extreme conditions, offering a powerful metaphor for the role of artisans in safeguarding the roots of a territory. Venice, its lagoon, and the art of glass beadmaking are recognized as World Heritage Sites.
