Lumel sights and sounds - become a glass blower it's a great job!
Lumel Studios is called 'the Happiness Factory' for good reason. We have a lot of fun on the hot shop floor and laughter fills our day. There is something about being surrounded by fire and heat that warms every aspect of our soul. The best thing about Lumel Studios is that we get a chance to share this with others. We are an open concept studio. All can walk in, there are no walled barriers between the artists and the public and every age and all abilities can learn to blow glass at Lumel.
Lumel Studios - Hands On Glass Blowing
Lumel Studios - Hard to believe that working with 1200 C glass is so HANDS-ON! Glass Blowing is amazing and at Lumel we let all ages and abilities give it a valiant try and all are successful. We take for granted that human's are smart, have a healthy fear of 1200 C molten glass and have wonderfully creative instincts!
