While we were there, this gentleman was demonstrating his craft.
He could make a horse in just a few seconds from a glowing drop of glass. Amazing. It looks so easy, but I'm sure it is hard work.

Glass blower
Still in El Poble Espanyol, I saw these strange molds on a wall:
I suppose they are used to mold glass.

Have all a nice week!

Amazing! I love watching craftsmen work like that! I remember when we visited Venice many years ago - and being fascinated watching the Venetian glassblowers working in their workshops!

I'm not sure I understand how the molds work... the hot glass is poured into these things?
I'm always amazed by their skills! They are artists!
Great talent!
Un peu déroutée par le nouveau look de ton blog! Très classe et moderne, mais je suis tellement conservatrice...
Bon souvenir de Barcelone à travers tes photos.
A samedi
