The glass beadmaker
The glass beadmaker melts small pieces of glass and shapes delicate little beads. It all takes place at a small clay furnace in a dark workshop. There have been many bead makers at the marketplace in Ripa, for demand is high. The wealthy ladies in particular are keen on fine glass beads to adorn their strap dresses.
