点评:The Jamestowne Glasshouse is located near the original Jamestown settlement in Virginia. It has good signage and a dedicated parking lot. Once parked you have to traverse a walkway to the building. It is a short path to the building. There are doors on every corner. The entrance closest to the walkway is well marked and is the best one to enter as it brings you to the shop that has the beautiful finished works of the artisans working by the large oven behind it in the center of the barn. This place offers a fascinating glimpse into one of America’s first industries. Established in 1608 by English colonists, the glassblowing operation was an early attempt at creating a profitable export for the struggling settlement. Today, visitors can watch skilled artisans recreate this historic craft using traditional techniques in a working studio. The artisans shape molten glass into bottles, vases, and ornaments, just as early settlers did over 400 years ago. Watching glassblowers work their craft is mesmerizing, and the connection to history adds depth to the experience. The artists were in period costume, extremely knowledgeable, and worked continuously making objects the entire time that I visited. Once completed the pieces were placed in smaller annealing ovens closer to the display shop. Once you’re done stop by the shop and pick up something to remind you of your visit. I did. If you’re visiting Historic Jamestown, the Glasshouse is a must-see stop that blends history, craftsmanship, and artistry.
翻译:詹姆斯敦玻璃屋位于弗吉尼亚州詹姆斯敦原定居点附近。它有良好的标识和专用停车场。停车后,您必须穿过一条人行道才能到达大楼。这是一条通往大楼的短路。每个角落都有门。最靠近人行道的入口标记清晰,是进入的最佳入口,因为它会带您进入商店,那里有工匠们在谷仓中心后面的大烤炉旁工作的精美成品。这个地方让您可以一窥美国最早的产业之一。玻璃吹制业务由英国殖民者于 1608 年建立,是为陷入困境的定居点创造有利可图的出口的早期尝试。今天,游客可以在工作室观看熟练的工匠使用传统技术重现这种历史悠久的工艺。工匠们将熔融的玻璃塑造成瓶子、花瓶和装饰品,就像 400 多年前的早期定居者一样。观看玻璃吹制工制作工艺令人着迷,与历史的联系为体验增添了深度。艺术家们身着古装,知识渊博,在我参观期间一直在不停地制作物品。完成后,作品被放置在靠近展示店的小型退火炉中。完成后,您可以到店里买点东西来纪念这次参观。我就是这么做的。如果您正在参观历史悠久的詹姆斯敦,那么玻璃屋是必看景点,它融合了历史、工艺和艺术。
