Esteem for glassblowers
Posted by Cecilia under: Art and Culture .
We recently visited the Simon Pearce glass factory in Quechee, Vermont. In addition to seeing a variety of beautiful dishware and pottery we were able to watch the glassblowers at work. Most impressive is the ease with which the glassblowers created their glassware.
Glassblowers handle the molten liquid glass with such skill that it was fun just watching them work.
The path to become a glassblower is long and requires a steady hand. A glass artisan must have a creative mind, an extraordinary eye and unique talent. Glassblowers at Simon Pierce receive esteem from all the visitors to the workshops. At the same time it’s visible that they give themselves esteem by having fun at their jobs.
Glassblowers deserve our esteem and remind us of the fine work and skillful hands that go into each glass we hold.
