The role
What a glass makers, decorators and finishers actually does, day to day.
As a glass maker, decorator and finisher, you shape, colour and finish glass to make it into something beautiful. You might work alone on a delicate piece or help with bigger projects like windows for buildings. You'll use furnaces, tools and your hands to create glass that people will use and enjoy.
Your day is a mix of technical skill and creativity. You need to be careful with details and have a good eye, but the best part is seeing a plain piece of glass turn into something finished that you've made yourself. You'll often work with other glass makers and designers to bring ideas to life.
