Murano glass
The glass artist carefully heats the glass to its melting point over an open flame. The molten glass is rolled onto a steel mandrel coated with a layer of clay and a silica mixture, also known as 'bead release.'
Didymium glasses are worn to protect the eyes from the flame's brightness. To create patterns and designs, various metal tools are used to stretch and manipulate the glass.
MURANO GLASS - FROM SAND TO GLASS RODS
Most of the Trollbeads glass comes from Italy. It is imported from Murano, an island close to Venice in Northern Italy. For centuries high quality glass has been produced here. The colour is achieved by adding different substances to the glass, such as copper for a clear marine blue.
"Glass is a wonderful material to work with, occasionally the glass will react in a different way than expected inspiring new ideas. This is caused by the chemical reactions of the compounds that give the glass colour. There are endless possibilities with the colours and patterns. It is soothing for the soul and quite mindful to work with glass, you need to take your time and be 100% focused. It is not a process that can be rushed - remember you are working with a flame that’s 900/1000° and melting glass."
– Inhouse glass artisan Signe Schumann-Sønderskov
“A glass bead is a very small object which must contain an unforgettable experience. This is always the main focus. To do this I play with the optics. What you see and believe to be rectangular, is, in fact, circular. I do this with numerous dots that look like they are rectangles or stripes. In fact, I fool you when I add the clear lens on top.” – Lise Aagaard Trollbeads founder and glass artisan
SHOP GLASS BEADS
Unique glass beads started as a project where the art of making glass beads was shared among some people. Since then, multiple workshops have been opened worldwide, in communities where there is a need for economic support.
