Glass Cutting

The glasses, vases and carafes are made from empty wine bottles collected from hotels, restaurants and bars of the touristic areas of Zanzibar, Tanzania. When the wine bottles are cleaned they are cut into the correct size and shape with a sharp knife and the warmth of a simple candle. To smoothen the edges a sander is being used. After quality control the edges are again sanded by hand with sandpaper. When the glasses are cleaned again they are packed in boxes to be shipped.
