On Thursday 13th October we had the very talented young American designer, Misha Kahn (www.mishakahn.com) with us creating some light fittings that he needs for an exhibition in the USA.

Mixing molten glass with broken bottles (which is what our molten glass comes from) to create some interesting textures. Pieces are very heavy, Ben Taylor worked with James Magagula and his team and were pretty tired after the 6 we created. It was a real pleasure working with Misha and hope that we can do more work together.Target Content

Luvo Manyonga who jumped an incredible 8.37 meters in the 2016 Rio Olympics visited Ngwenya Glass on the 28th October 2016. He was accompanied by #TopBilling. Luvo got his hands dirty and got straight into the factory to try his hand at glass blowing. First he made a teddy bear head and then for the fun of it and with the help of several glass blowers from the team, they made a stick of glass which equaled the length of his silver medal jump… 8.37 meters! Luvo enjoyed it as much as we did. He is a really great guy with a contagious smile. Thanks guys for the visit and we look forward to seeing you jump 9 meters soon!
