I’ve posted photos of the glass blowing show at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland before. It’s a great place to see finished products, whether they are for practical use, decorative purposes, or pure art. They have hands-on workshops for children and adults, and one can also watch the experts blowing glass. All this is only possible because of fire, of course.
One Word Sunday: Fire.
Last weekend I was in Neustadt an der Weinstraße and I was literally running through the town (a kind of hares and hound game) with my camera around my neck and I snapped a few pictures whenever we had a short break to catch our breaths. For all that haste I like the result of the shot above.
This one resulted in an unintentional selfie – although I didn’t try to photograph behind the glass but was interested in the name.
This last one was taken at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland, UK. In addition to dealing with photographing through glass there is the problem of lighting in museums to struggle with.
More photographs with subjects under glass here.
These are all exhibits from the National Glass Centre in Sunderland. Pyrex was invented and manufactured in Sunderland, so was Corningware.
But I prefer the vases better. And the sculptures even more.
