For our 5th edition of Your Bead for Venice we received 41 applications from 16 countries. The jury from the Committee for the Safeguard of the Venetian Glass Beads, the International Society of Glass Beadmakers and Perliers d’art de France really enjoyed going over all the beautiful beads. It was great to see how many people felt inspired by Venice and Venetian beadmaking and glass techniques and pushed themselves.
The finalists’ beads will be on display at the Venice Museum of Glass during Venice Glass Week in September 12-20, 2026.
