Craft today is rare. We rarely see objects crafted rather than machine-manufactured. In early examples of craft, from the craft era, being a crafts-man was seen as lower class and less fortunate to those of higher professions.
Glass blowing is a historic form of craft that is still very common today. The glass is heated and turned to molten bubble; a blowpipe is used to expand the glass into shapes whilst hot, then cooled to make glass vases, bottles, ornaments and statues. The craft of glass blowing is laborious but the artworks created are beautiful and original pieces. Craftsmen take pride in their work, adding colours and textures to add extra interest to their designs
