Hi, great piece of film. I am an icelandic glassblower with a workshop in Iceland. It has been a dream for me for some years to visit Firozobad and seeing the work done there first hand. I will be going in January. It would be very nice if you could help me out a little regarding the sights there ?

I will stay in touch.

Thanks for a great video !

Hi there,

Do you make glass in Firozabad? I am interested to return... seeing the video again, it ia a powerful piece, created by my friend who I asked to come with me to make a video about the glassmaking process...

I have seen only a little of the town, I am sure there is more...

I have watched this video several times and love it. There is so much going on all at once in an indian glass factory. It takes amazing coodination among workers. All that hot glass moving around, where timing is so important, is something to see. It's old school production glass. I'm new school I guess as I am a glass artist working alone. To think that those people are doing that every day as I make beads in my little studio. Great flow and wonderful music. More please...

Hi,

yes Azhar is a great video maker... and we had a tough time working there... where are you located? and what sort of glass do you make?

Hi Bjane,

Well Done. Does Azhar produce videos as a job or is it a hobby? It sure looks dusty and hot in the factory. I am in Northwest Washington State, USA. It is a small tourist town by the water surrounded by farms and home to many professional artists of all kinds. I am a glass artist working in beads and jewelry. My wife and I run a glass studio here. I work glass in a window for the tourists. I am also an inventor that makes tools for glass artists.

Oopes 3 montsh ago. I guess I should've check my youtube more often --excuse: been busy with facebook :-D

Hi there, I am a videographer by profession and video artist by time to time. Been facinated by the glass art since I met Jane years ago. I was in Singapore for a few years and now I am in Bandung, Indonesia.

I understand. My wife has finally convinced me to get on Facebook. It seems like a great way to network and connect with others.

I really liked how you put that video together. It was captivating from start to finish.

I saw a Video Lecture a couple of years ago on the glass bangle industry in India and it showed glass factories similar to the ones you feature in your video. Your video had way better music. Is there any chance you could load this same video in a higher quality format?
