HAGI GLASS Art Studio

4.5

The HAGI GLASS Art Studio is the only workshop making Hagi Glass in Hagi City. The Studio was established in 1992 with the aim of reviving the tradition of making Hagi Glass, which was first developed in 1859 by Nakashima Jihei, a feudal retainer of the Choshu domain. The HAGI GLASS Art Studio creates a wide range of products that make great gifts, including pale green quartz basalt glassware, 10-sided Hagi facet glass vessels, etc. The Studio also has a classroom where visitors can try their hand at making glassware.

Stunning glass

The glass made on site is apparently full of scratches and is just beautiful and also completely heat resistant. Worth a visit to watch the glass blowing.

グラスが欲しいので見に行きました。なかなか高価ですが、ヒビが入ったグラスは本当にきれいです。2階には数十万円する作品が展示されてます。怖くて近寄りがたいのですぐに１階に戻りました。工房では、自分で作品を作れるコースも用意されてます。

昔にガラスの生産が萩で行われていたようです。その伝統を生かしたガラス製品は優しい色使いで女性の方にもお勧めです。時間がなくて、今回は体験しませんでしたがガラス制作体験もあるようです！！
