Kitengela Hot Glass
Najbolje vreme za posetu
Weekday early mornings, around opening time, are the quietest. Then you can watch the glassblowers at work without having to maneuver between tourist buses.
Saveti za budžet
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.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Od otpadnog stakla, praznih flaša i starih prozora svakodnevno se duva novo obojeno staklo u otvorenim pećima koje su na 1.100 stepeni. Atelje u potpunosti radi na ručni rad i godišnje prerađuje hiljade kilograma recikliranog stakla u vaze, nakit i skulpture.
Istaknuto: Svaka boja u ovom ateljeu nastaje iz sopstvenog tajnog recepta, a jedan od duvača godinama odbija da podeli svoju formulu za tačno plavu boju afričkog neba. Pitajte oko podneva za usijanu skulpturu koja još mora da se suši sa otiskom ruke duvača na njoj, jer otisak ostaje zauvek vidljiv u staklu.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
