A molten ball is blown out through a tube and placed on an iron rod (\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm6\"\u003epontil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e), readied for moulding.

With the glass needs shifting from the church and princely courts to the common people, the glass production moved into larger workshops, such as the one established by Princess Isabella Lubomirska in the deep forests around Lviv- the famous ‘forest glass’ workshops that sprang throughout Northern Europe in the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Normal tm5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm7\"\u003eThe Maker. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tm7\"\u003eMasha Yakush built the Yakush Studio around a simple conviction: that broken glass deserves a second life.
