The artisans visited a youth project in South Africa that produces unique and beautiful recycled glass beads. This youth project, in a poor township of South Africa, provides youth in the community with not only skills and training but an opportunity to earn income.
The lampworked beads, made from used beer bottles and made one-by-one, present a beautiful shine and the kiln-fired recycled glass shows a earthy, matte finish.
Look forward to seeing these new beads in our 2010 eco-line to be launched March 1!
