Nyhavns Glaspusteri

The little shop is located close to Nyhavn, where you enter down in a basement and see their gift shop with a wide exhibition of cute handmade glass you can buy. We went here as part of my friends bachelorette party, where she was the one who had to be creative and blow glass. Her sisters bought a package offer for the bride, so while she was active we, who participated at the bachelorette party, watched. We were seated out in the cozy garden/​little yard in the back (so it was kept private) and champagne, juice and water was served. While we were in the garden we could see in the workshop where the activities were going on.
I always thought glass was simple to make, but I learned there is a lot more to it. Glass working is a fast process, and when you are a novice you really need a good instructor.
This instructor was very pedagogical and introduced the bride-​to-​be carefully about the glass blowin techniques, demonstrated how to use the equipment etc. in order for her not to get hurt by the steaming red hot glass. He helped her and involved her carefully in the process of making. The only thing I was not found of was that the process was quite time-​consuming in order to make 2 glasses and we were just sitting there and watching.
Glass blowin is very fascinating and recommendable, but I wouldn’t recommend it for bigger arrangements. It is more suited for few people.
