Hsinchu
International Glass Art Festival
Wow, this is one beautifully handblown glass plate.
Today my English friend Peter and I are at the Hsinchu
International Glass Art Festival, and this is Joy
Huang, whose roots are in ceramics, but is now one
of the top glass artists of Taiwan.
On display at the festival are works of art by local
and international master glass craftsmen.
Colorful dresses, realistic human figures, abstract
objects, birds, flowers, animals - it��s amazing how
dynamic and expressive this translucent material can
be.
Man invented glass and made jewelry out of it as early
as 5500 years ago, and the Chinese embraced it because
it looks like jade.
But why is Hsinchu famous for glass?
And because glass is produced locally, the products
are incredibly affordable here. Shop owners tells
us that it��s at least half off compared to prices
abroad. So of course, we are going shopping!
That was fun, and I got my little trinklets from the
souvenir shop - these guys, for my guppy tank. They��ll
have some friends.
I��m sure the fish will appreciate them.
So what did you get out of this trip?
Well, I really enjoyed doing glass blowing. It was
pretty hot, quite complicated. I didn��t realize how
long it would take just to make one thing.
It was really cool.
Yeah it was very cool. I did really cool.
Can I have it? We can trade.
Well, we��ve got to come back and get it, right?
We can have them send it to us.
I think there will be a few other people at home that
are going to be asking for it, so I can��t promise
it to you. I��m sorry.
The Hsinchu International Glass Festival is already
in full swing and runs until the end of August.
