Visit our glass factory in Ta’ Qali

Our glass is made in our workshop at Ta’ Qali Crafts Village, in the centre of Malta. Come and watch our glassblowers at work, free of charge, then see finished pieces in our shop next to the workshop.

Watch glassblowing for free

You can watch our glassblowers in the workshop from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 and 16:00. Entry is free and you don’t need to book. If you are coming as a group, please call us first on +356 2143 0966.

What you will see

Molten glass is gathered from the furnace on the end of a blowpipe, coloured with glass chips or powders, then blown and shaped by hand while it is still extremely hot. Because every piece is shaped by hand, no two are exactly the same. Finished pieces are cooled slowly before they go to the shop.
