Glass might be full of contradictions, but it’s consistent in its beauty.&nbsp;On this week’s The Factory Next Door, we head to Rothschild & Bickers’ glassblowing studio in Hertford to learn what it takes to turn molten silica into art for the walls and the ceiling.&nbsp;Number 34 on our list of the greatest products we make here is The Glass Lampshade.&nbsp;Founders Victoria Rothschild and Mark Bickers explain why glass making is a team sport, celebrate the fire in glory holes, and consider the perfect size for their business.&nbsp;Also on the show, I have a go at making my own water glass and am reminded that, no, I cannot do two things at the same time.&nbsp;Say hello on Instagram @thefactorynextdoor&nbsp;The Factory Next Door is supported by AVEVA, a leader in industrial intelligence.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sign up to their bi-weekly newsletter about manufacturing here:&nbsp;www.aveva.com/factory<hr> Hosted on Acast.
