After a nice lunch, we made it to the village outside of Jombang, where the glass-beadmakers all reside and work.

The first industry we visited was headed by Mr. Nurwakit—whom we can see in this photo, followed by a view of his inventory in-storage. Mr. Nurwakit employs a number of craftsmen who make and process lampwork (or torchwork) beads, including wound and drawn varieties. They specialize in making millefiori beads that copy ancient and Venetian types. I'll show some of this.

JDA.
