訪問に最適な時期
Weekday early mornings, around opening time, are the quietest. Then you can watch the glassblowers at work without having to maneuver between tourist buses.
予算のヒント
The entrance fee is around 25 dollars per adult and you can visit the workshop without buying anything. Combine the visit with a walk around the grounds and then eat at their own kitchen for an affordable lunch instead of the more expensive restaurants.

訪問時間の計画
1.5 to 2 hours
概要
クイックファクト: 廃ガラス、空き瓶、古い窓ガラスから、ここでは毎日1,100度の開放炉で新しい色ガラスが吹きガラスで作られています。この工房は完全に手作業で運営され、毎年数千キロのリサイクルガラスを花瓶、ジュエリー、彫刻に加工しています。
見どころ: この工房のそれぞれの色は独自の秘密のレシピから生まれ、吹きガラス職人の一人は何年もアフリカの空の正確な青の配合を明かそうとしません。正午ごろに、吹き手の手の跡がまだ乾いていない真っ赤に熱した彫刻について尋ねてみてください。その跡は永遠にガラスに残るのです。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants, sparks and glass splinters are everywhere on the workshop floor.
- Stop by the furnace around 3:00 PM to see the daily dismantling ritual when the glassblowers close out their workday.
- Buy directly at the workshop and not at the souvenir shops along the road, where the price is often twice as high.
- Don't go straight to the showroom, first check out the furnaces and the work tables where you can see the glass being created live.
