How we make Elephants
The fours stages of making an elephant in one photo.
The initial glob of glass is shaped and formed into the body of the elephant. Small gestures are pressed into the sides to make the legs
The mouth and the start of the trunk is formed by expert hands
The ears added by another glass blower
After the ears are added, they are remelted to join them to the head seamlessly
With the ears hot enough, now the glass blower can sqeeze the ears flat
The final touches are bending the ears into place before it’s finished and put in the ovens for cooling
100%Hand-made
