Millefiori

Millefiori (thousand flowers) is the technique of stretching and shaping multi-coloured rods. Normally colours are added and a shape is introduced, then the molten glass is stretched until it produces a long thin cane of glass. 




This can be cut and used as beads 



or, for example, in the production of murrina jewelry.
