Handmade glass
This ancient technique of manufacturing glass objects, whose origin dates back to the 1st century BC, has practically not changed until today, making it a magnificent intangible jewel.
Creating an art object from glass paste at more than a thousand degrees by blowing through a hollow reed requires many years of practice to achieve the mastery necessary to create works of sublime beauty.
Glass production has been deeply rooted in Spanish culture for three centuries and its greatest exponent is the Royal Glass Factory of La Granja, whose good work is part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Built in the second half of the s. XVIII under the reign of Charles IV, it was the greatest reference of Bourbon reformism of the time, currently being, in addition to a craft factory, a reference training center, museum, library of the National Glass Center Foundation and event space .
