Glasblåsning i Kosta

As part of Chris’s birthday present he was allowed to try some glass blowing.

Det går inte att vara I Glasriket utan att titta på allt vackert glas. Chris har ofta pratat om att han vill prova glasblåsning så i födelsedagspresent fick har göra en egen skål. Han tyckte att det var riktigt skoj och han fick göra en hel del själv även om tjejerna gjorde mycket av arbetet. Om ni har vägarna förbi Kosta Outlet så rekommenderar jag denna aktivitet.

My cottage is in a region famous for its glass blowing traditions so it’s impossible to be here without admiring some of the fantastic glass sculptures. Chris has often talked about wanting to try to make his own glass, and I thought as part of his birthday present, he could make his own bowl. He thought it was the best 15 minutes and I’m sure he’ll be happy to show you the bowl once you visit us.

Hot, hot, hot! The glass is over 1200 degrees warm.
