IN COOPERATION WITH
”We recieved two hours of instructions in the art of glassblowing with master Carlos as a gift. We spent some nice, hot hours in the Målerås glassworks! Under Carlos pedagogical supervision, we managed to produce some really nice work. We are proud and delighted to have been given this fantastic opportunity. We hope that many more will get to know glassblowing, it is a fun experience that creates good memories!”
