Making only one Okinawa souvenir in the world through Ryukyu glass experience

This time, I tried the "Easy Course" recommended for beginners! Because I wanted a awamori glass for dinner, the shape was Tallas. The pattern is colored with cute bugs, and the color is selected so that the crushes shine. You can also choose from blue, light blue, green, peach, and lavender.

Wrap the glass melted in the kiln to scoop the water with a pipe.
But it's really hot! That should be the case, and the inside of the kiln seems to be about 130 ° C. At first I was quite frightened by the heat (laughs)
※Depending on the workshop, a craftsman may do it.

The heat ball of the wounded glass is made into round shape. This was the least difficult process.

Roll once on the glass frame from left to right. Because of the hot glass ball, it was attached in an interesting way. The knack is light and gently rolling.

It blows strongly as if you swell the balloon. At first, I was a little impatient than I had imagined, but when I started to swell, it quickly grew up.

While holding down the bottom with fire scissors, the other hand moves the heart while keeping the pipe parallel. It was a little difficult because I couldn't understand the strength, so I had more than half of the craftsmen helped (laughs)

It was a moment of tension and tension (sweat)
But! I was able to enjoy the feeling of doing it. Put the fire scissors in a small hole, and slowly spread the fire scissors with the same power without too much effort. The other hand had to move slowly while maintaining parallel, and if it was too early, the shape collapsed, and if it was too late, the glass cooled down and hard, so I sweated with delicate movements (laughs)

Fifteen minutes later, it's finally finished! Glass breaks when cooled suddenly, so cool it in a dedicated kiln for one day.

Regarding receipt of goods
The completed work will be picked up the next day. Please consult with the staff as we also ship it.
