1. Vlog 16: Mdina Glass in Malta

2. This time, Martina and Glen from Azure TV visited
the main Mdina Glass factory in Ta’ Qali. Here
they interviewed the owner of Mdina Glass Joseph
Said, watched the glass blowers in action, and
had a good look at all the locally produced
glassware items.

4. Mdina
Glass
is
the
original
glassmaking
company
in
Malta
which
started
out
in
1968.
It
was
one
of
the
main
a>rac?ons
for
tourists
47
years
ago,
when
there
were
only
a
few
other
ceramists
and
lace-­‐makers
around.
So
one
could
even
say
that
Mdina
Glass
was
a
pioneer
in
the
Ta’
Qali
CraJs
Village
setup.

6. And what is so unique about Mdina Glass? Initially
Mdina Glass started producing only blue glass,
which resembles the colour of the sea that Malta is
surrounded by; but nowadays they work with any
colour you could imagine.
The technique they use to produce the glass pieces
is the traditional glass blowing method, which
anyone can witness taking place inside their
factory. In fact, the glass-blowing practice being
carried out by skilled craftsmen attracts a lot of
tourists to the company premises every day.
