From mother to daughter
- • Renata learnt bead making from her mother
- • She has several lines of beads, ranging from traditional to contemporary
- • Her co-workers started training with her when they were 15
Renata Ferrari could make beads before she could walk. Her mother, Adelina, was an expert Venetian-beads maker, an artisan and also an artist: whatever she saw – a painting, a scarf, a landscape – she would reproduce in her glass beads. She worked in the kitchen, where she had a small furnace. On the same flame, on Sundays, she would prepare barley sweets for her daughters; today, Renata still associates the fire to the sweet scent of barley sweets. Through the flame, Adelina taught Renata life, and Renata never once burnt herself, despite the fact that they had a 1,200°C furnace in the kitchen. At only 25, Renata opened her own lab, eventually “hiring” her mother who, after having been her teacher, became her business partner and her muse.
