Location : HERAT, AFGHANISTAN Artisan : MR NASARULLAH
THE TECHNIQUE
The artisans make glass in much the same way as it has always been made. They grind quartz, plant ash (otherwise known as 'Ishkar'), and natural oxides together to create the vibrant colours which once made Herat’s glass so famous. Each individual glass is blown by hand, and fired in a traditional mud brick kiln.
