Ngwenya Glass Factory And Craft Market, also known as Shades of Ngwenya Glass, is a blowing factory situated in the Ngwenya Glass Village, only 20 minutes from JHB. It is the hub of the Ngwenya Glass Village. Ngwenya is a glass wonderland where you can watch the ancient art of glassblowing at work and buy fabulous handmade recycled glassware. Outside the factory, mountains of recycled glass twinkle wickedly in the sun. About 500kg of glass are crushed daily at Ngwenya, and melted down in a red hot furnace overnight, at an incredible 1400 degrees Celsius. By morning, the glass melt is reduced to a ‘manageable’ 1200 degrees C. Then the glass-masters work their magic, drawing the glass out and blowing it into bulbous shapes. Ngwenya Glass Village is the ideal venue for a day or weekend outing in the Village Market with 12 Shops to browse around. (Oct-15)
