Glassworks in the city centre
Enter the glassblower's workshop at the National Glass Museum's Glassworks! Fire, agility, sheer muscle power and years of experience are needed to shape the hot viscous substance. Take a seat on the stand and watch up close how glassblowers turn hot liquid glass into the most diverse art and design objects. With explanations from experienced educators, you will learn all about this wonderful craft!
