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. |
