Glassblower


A while back I went to Bærums verk with my family. It used to be an iron work, but now it's a place for arts and crafts, restaurants and exhibitions.

While there, we saw some glassblowers in action and I took these photos of one of them. It must be really hard and warm work!

In the shop next door you can buy some of the glass art they're making, but unfortunately it was closed the day we were there.

I sure hope she does not inhale!

I had a client once who made wheels for trains. Their plant had these really large furnaces and was a sight to see. Luckily I did not have to work there.

Thank you for registering at the Daily Photo Map. A thumbnail of your latest post is now displayed. The map logic appears to have a little problem with the times so you might have to select 36 hours then click load. I will work on resolving the issue ... Thanks.

Hey Denton, thanks for your comment!

It must be really hot working near those furnaces. Not a job I would have enjoyed, but they do make beautiful art. :)

The Photo Map looks great!
