The art of lampworking, also known as wound glass bead making, originated in Venice, Italy. This intricate technique involves winding molten glass around a metal rod, allowing for detailed patterns and unique bead designs. Venetian lampwork beads played a significant role in trade across Ghana and Africa, serving not only as currency but also as symbols of wealth and status.
