Glassblowing at Studioglas Strömbergshyttan
Below are some workshop pictures from Studioglas Strömbergsyttan.
When the glassblowers start to make a new wine glass or
piece, the first step is to dip the heated blowing pipe into the molten
glass in the forge. Glass pellets are commonly used in the glass furnaces
and are heated up to a temperature of approximately 2400 degrees
Fahrenheit.
