This glasmanufacturer is making their own glas and sell them in their shop or webshop. It is really interesting what you can make out of glas. One better and nicer then the other one.
When you enter the building you arrive directly in their shop. You can have a look around of all the glas they are making.
During the day you can get a guide of how glas will be made. From Monday to Friday there are 4 times you can attend to see the guide: 10am, 11.30am, 2pm and 3.30pm. Saturday there are only 3 times: 10am, 11.30am and 2pm. The cost to see this guide is €5 for an adult. The guy who did this, was really great. He explained how glas is made of. This tour he made 3 items to show the technique: a bird, a flower and a vase. Once he finished the product, he put it in a 'cool off machine'. At the start of making the item, it is +1200C in the oven. When you cool it off in the open air like that, the glas will break. Putting it in this 'cool off machine', the item will gradually cool off in phases. This proces takes 13 hours.
It is possible to make your own glas item. You have to choose which one you would like to make and the colour you want. After the tour (about how to make glas), you can make your own glas with the guide.
