| In
1608, glassmaking, America’s first English industry,
began in Jamestown, Virginia. Today, costumed craftsmen,
using tools and techniques similar to those used centuries
ago, blow one-of-a-kind period reproductions and contemporary
pieces. Only green glass is blown at the Glasshouse,
but other colors are blown at an off-site location. A
four-year apprentice program trains glass blowers. |
