Lampwork beads, also known as wound glass beads, are created using a meticulous process where glass is wound around a mandrel and shaped with the help of a flame. This technique, perfected in Venice, Italy, produces beads with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Venetian trade beads have played a significant role in the history of trade in Ghana and across Africa, often used as currency and symbols of wealth.
