Alessandra Gardin creates contemporary handmade Murano glass jewellery in her atelier in the Castello district of Venice. Architect and artisan, she has been working in the field of planning and design for years. In 2013 she fell in love with lampworking and Murano glass beads and began her training as a "perlera" following courses held by masters in Murano. With her jewel-creations, born from her passion for design and craftsmanship, she tries to transmit the beauty of this ancient millenary art, from 2020 recognized as a Unesco heritage, updating it in shapes and colour combinations to the contemporary feeling. She finds inspiration for her creations in the natural world where wonderfully imperfect forms are the focus of primordial emotions.
