Podcasts about glass beads

The Glassmaker Exploring Venice, Murano, and the Art of Glass Beads through Tracy Chevalier's Vision Venice, with its dreamy canals and labyrinthine streets, is a city steeped in timeless beauty. But nestled just a stone's throw away is the island of Murano, a place with an equally rich legacy—one forged in fire, colored in precious minerals, and shaped by centuries of craftsmanship. It is here that Tracy Chevalier sets her luminous new historical novel, The Glassmaker. As the host of the Flavor of Italy podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tracy Chevalier about her latest novel, The Glassmaker, which has captured the imagination of readers worldwide. From the shimmer of molten glass to the intricate art of bead-making, Chevalier's novel is both a sweeping saga and an ode to a vanishing world of artistry. If you're fascinated by Italy, women's history, or the centuries-old tradition of Venetian glass, this story—and the story behind the story—is for you.

What secrets do documents hide—and how are they uncovered? From forged wills to counterfeit passports, the world of document examination is a high-stakes game of detection and deception. No one knows this better than Justin Watt, a forensic document examiner with the Department of Home Affairs. In this episode of Crime Insiders | Forensics, hosted by Kathy Fox, Justin unravels how clues invisible to the naked eye busted a serial bank robber, what your handwriting can and can’t reveal about you, and what it takes to fake a passport.

The art of (Venetian) Murano glass bead making (now a recognized UNESCO slice of cultural heritage) is a treasure trove of history, craft, and culture that dates back to the 13th century. Beyond the allure of Murano's famed glass, these Venetian beads hold a unique legacy shaped by centuries of trade, cultural exchange, and artistry.  If you're inspired to explore the rich tradition of Murano glass beads, Venice offers various reputable artisanal workshops, especially on Murano. While mass-produced imitations have flooded the market, authentic Murano glass beads are found in trusted shops and family-run artisanal studios on Murano Island. Artisans on Murano still work in glass workshops that are hundreds of years old, maintaining an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Each family of bead makers often carries stories of the beads they've produced and the innovations they've contributed to Venetian glassmaking......

More than half a century after humans last walked on the moon, researchers have made a discovery that makes lunar living an increasing possibility. The moon's surface is littered with tiny glass beads containing water, which could be extracted and used by visiting astronauts. Ian Sample speaks to Professor Mahesh Anand, part of the team that made the discovery, about where these beads come from and what they mean for future moon missions. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod

It may surprise you to discover that there could be enough water on the moon to support a mission. The challenge is in unlocking this as a liquid. Mahesh Anand, Professor of Planetary Science and Exploration at the Open University joined Sean to discuss the new discovery…

Called to live differently This week’s reading from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (Ephesians 4:25 – 5:2) is a particularly piercing word for the church today. Paul makes a powerful appeal that’s needed in a time when “truth” is a questionable commodity in our current society. Along with questioning “the truth”, we live in a culture where anger, malice and slander are met – and dished out – at every turn. Paul unequivocally reminds us, that as Christian disciples, we are to live differently. God has poured out his life in his Son, Jesus Christ, and has made us his beloved children. As children of God, our old life has been put away and we are growing into a new life together in Jesus Christ. That new life changes how we deal with one another. In our society, and in our Christian life together, anger emerges from our deep divides. Anger lashes out when people isolate themselves in their own realities and think their ways of going about life are the ONLY ways to go about life. When isolated individuals or groups collide, there can be no peace. Anger erupts.   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial License.

No Longer Strangers: Bound Together in Grace Part four of a six-part series from Ephesians   Responding to Grace Christianity is not necessary in our society in order to make “good” people.  Other religions preach most, if not all, of the same morals that our Christian Bible does.  Our civic laws perform much of the same function as the original Ten Commandments! Where Christianity differs is in how that goodness comes into play.  Christian ethics, values, and morals come as responses to God’s grace.  God’s grace comes first.  We, as God’s faithful people, are called, then, to live our lives in response to that grace. The word that we use for this kind of grace is “prevenient” grace.  God’s grace goes before any call to obedience to God’s commands.  God’s commands always come after a “therefore”.   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial License.  

No Longer Strangers: Gods Powerful Love Part three of a six-part series from Ephesians   Despite the walls around us, we can still find a way to love others as much as God first loved us.   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial License.

No Longer Strangers: Aliens Brought Near Part two of a six-part series from Ephesians   As human beings there will always be things that set us apart or cause us to be different from one another, there will be things that divide us.  And Jesus came to reconcile us to God and to one another, breaking down walls, mending relationships and showing us that we are united in Him.  In the household of God, Jesus is our cornerstone.  He is our foundation and what holds us up.  And God works through us, building up within us the very temple where God’s work is done.  We are the building materials and we need all of us to have a strong structure.  It is God’s grace that brings us together and gives us the chance to share God’s love with one another and the world.  Thanks be to God for the things that bring us together-for the gift of grace and the opportunity to serve others!   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial License.

  No Longer Strangers: The Family Part one of a six-part series from Ephesians   “[God] destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to his will, the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:5 Howard Hendricks, the great Baptist church leader, and Promise Keepers speaker, once compared the church to a football game. A stadium full of people who need exercise watching 22 grown tired men beating each other up and then retiring to their cars, water coolers, and armchairs to argue about how they would have done things differently. The point is this: the church is not meant to be an institution made up solely of paid staff, and key volunteers, doing hard and good work while the rest of the church watches and criticizes. By virtue of our baptisms into Jesus Christ, we are all called to get in the game! In baptism, each of us is adopted into God’s family. This makes all of us siblings. In Christ we are family. And, just like families, we have our disagreements and our conflicts… however, families also are called to be able to bear with one another through joys AND struggles.   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial License.

  Living by Faith: Living Generously Part five of a six-part series from 2 Corinthians   Giving is not optional.   How do we teach ourselves that we give, not because we are required to, but because we can?

Living by Faith: Living Honestly Part four of a six-part series from 2 Corinthians   Christians live as if the gospel were true. At least that’s how we’re supposed to live. That was even the goal way back in the Apostle Paul’s time when he wrote his 2nd letter to the Christian church in Corinth. Sadly, we are a sinful people who don’t live out the gospel as well as we ought. This led one observant Christian to say, “When the world rejects the good news of Jesus Christ, it’s often not Christ who is being rejected - but the sorry performance of Christ’s witnesses” – you and me.

Living by Faith: Living Renewed Part three of a six-part series from 2 Corinthians What does it mean to live confidently in our faith? This week we look at Pauls struggles, and what we can learn from them.   We go through periods where we are confident in our faith, and others where we are less. But Paul shows us that we can live as he did, seeing an opportunity in everything to boast in the Lord, because he walked by faith, and not by sight.     Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial License.

  Living by Faith: Living Renewed Part two of a six part series from 2 Corinthians   How many times have you almost lost heart? Through Paul's letters we hear words of promise and hope that can carry us from being worried to living our lives, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Hand yourself over to God as Paul did in order to carry on. Life is not about suffering, God did not want us to struggle in this life. The promise of renewal is about facing the reality of life, knowing that life can be hard, and recognizing that we need God. This is about being strong and courageous in faith no matter what you are facing   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial License.  

Living by Faith: Living to Serve Part one of a six part series from 2 Corinthians  The true Christian life is one lived in sacrificial love and service to our neighbors.  Jesus’ paid for this new way of living with his own life!  The resurrection of Christ was, and is, the first fruits of the Holy Spirit… the call and ability to live our lives unafraid that there might not be enough love or grace or mercy to go around. And so we serve each other, and our neighbors, sacrificially.  We give everything of who we are away because we have proof, in Jesus’ body and blood, that there will always be enough. What does this mean for us as a people and as a church?   Music Credits:  Glass Beads by Blue Dot Sessions is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial License.
