Original Message:   Venetian beadmaking - mandrels & release?

Hello. Thank you for the warm welcome. I was wondering if anyone had any info on the types of mandrels and bead release used by Venetian bead makers. I read once I think that they used copper mandrels and no release, but not sure if this is true? Would there ever be a residue or bead release powder found in old Venetian beads? If not, how did they get the beads off the mandrels? Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
