Glassblowing

The glass beakers for my project, The Art of Eternal Connections, were made in a glass-making factory called Khaled Abou Ahmed.

The factory is in Cairo, Egypt, next to the Mamluk Mosque of Qaytbay in The City of the Dead.

Khaled’s sons, Mohamed and Ahmed, crafted these vessels. The footage shows the glassblower using my 3D-printed prototype to reproduce the shape and size of the object.

Seif El Rashidi, Director of The Barakat Trust, facilitated this.
