Built for heat and for visitors
High ceilings and old port windows carry the heat away. A low wall separates the gallery from the hot shop so visitors can watch safely from a few metres away.

Our furnace has burned without pause since 2014. Around it: three benches, a glory hole, an annealing oven and a lot of water buckets.
