Virtual Book Club Meetup: The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier
This book is a must read for all bead lovers! Enhance your appreciation of the history and artistry of not just Murano glass beads, but all lampwork beads!
Venice, 1486
Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here - like the glass the island's maestros spend their lives learning to handle.
Women are not meant to work with glass, but Orsola Rosso flouts convention to save her family from ruin. She works in secret, knowing her creations must be perfect to be accepted by men. But perfection may take a lifetime.
Skipping like a stone through the centuries, we follow Orsola as she hones her craft through war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss.
The beads she creates adorn the necks of empresses and courtesans from Paris to Vienna - but will she ever earn the respect of those closest to her.
