This place was AWESOME. Kosta Boda is Sweden's oldest glass-blowing factory, founded in 1742. The gallery at Kosta Boda was full of incredible glass art that was created by different artists employed there. It was incredible! It's hard to imagine how someone could create some of the things they had.
We had the opportunity to watch some of the glass makers at work. While we were there, they were making champagne glasses. I posted a couple videos so you can see how they are made.
There was another man there who was an independent artist and was making these really cool vases. We got to see almost the entire process, starting with a small ball of melted glass. The video I have for this is too big for the blog, but I posted some pictures of him.
