Eztu Glass Factory visit

Also waaaay back in November, the group I belong to with the Indonesian Heritage Society http://www.heritagejkt.org/ went for a visit to a stained glass factory just outside of town.  Eztu Glass imports glass from all over the world and exports stained glass all over the world.  It's an impressive operation, very interesting to see the inner-workings of an Indonesian factory.

The group of us were taken through all of the steps in creating huge and small stained glass objects: windows, ceilings, suncatchers.. you name it. 


shaping and buffing the glass pieces




drawing the designs




putting the pieces together



bronze "lead"

about 3 feet by 4 feet



finished windows!



Just a small part of the mural on the outside walls made with leftover pieces of glass from the factory.

The most amazing part of the process for me was that--in spite of there being a lot of glass--we did not see one drop of blood!
