Minnesota jewelry artist Andrea Turini brings audiences inside the living traditions of Czech glass and beadmaking. Her presentation, Heirloom Fire: Czech Glasswork, draws on firsthand experiences in Jablonec nad Nisou, a region long recognized as a world center of bead and button production. The story of the evolution of the Czech glass industry from family workshops to state-run factories under communism. The cultural significance of beads and buttons as local artistry and as an export that shaped global fashion. She will share how beads are made. The talk is open to the public and is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
