Hand Blowing Your Own Glass Globes
(Glaskolben)

The pictures do not do it justice.  It doesn't capture their essence, but when you see these glass globes - or glaskloben, as they're known in Germany - you'll see how cool they are.  They make beautiful ornaments or suncatchers that reflect the light.  You'll learn how to blow your own glass globes, using different colors of glass, varying designs and creating various shapes. 

We supply all the glass and materials to make 20 globes.
