Beaded craft: from antiquity to modernity
Today, a huge number of people are engaged in needlework, and it is no secret to anyone that this is a rather painstaking work. But with all possible difficulties, the result, with its completeness and appearance, always compensates the master for his costs of manufacturing the product. Beading craftsmanship is also no exception to this pattern.
Beadwork has become possible and affordable thanks to many craftsmen of more than one generation who have specialized in the productionthese colorful pieces of glass. The art of using beads in needlework has undergone many transformations throughout the history of its existence. Mankind owes the appearance of the first beads to the Phoenician glassmakers, who 6 thousand years ago discovered the recipe for glass - from soda. Starting from that day, glass began to be used not only in everyday life, but also for the production of various types of women's beads: from massive to small items. In Europe, the only center for the manufacture of beads, as you know, has become the Venetian Republic, as the craftsmen are meticulous.They tried to keep their professional secrets. But already at the end of the 17th century, Czech glassblowers discovered a recipe for a more durable material, using not soda, but wood ash in the production of glass beads. Since then, the Czech Republic has become the undoubted leader in the production of high-quality glass products, and beads are widely used to decorate clothes and household items.
