I went on a family outing today to Dartington Crystal in Torrington, Devon.

The factory tour is fascinating though extremely hot!!

The Glass Blowers work 2 hour shifts, during which time they appear to be moving non stop in ferocious heat.

The finished items are wonderful and famous around the world.

2 hour shifts? I'm not sure I'd like to work that much in any one day!
Nice shot.
