CBN.com – Welcome to Europe’s largest ornament factory.
"My factory brings joy to people and their children," says Bogdan Yakovlevich, the general manager. "People decorate their trees and it puts them in the Christmas mood."
Here a thousand employees turn out as many as 6500 different creations made of glass. But these artists don’t just decorate -- they create!
First, glass blowers painstakingly heat glass and blow it into the perfect form. "I blow 3,500 to 4,000 ornaments a week," says Maria, a factory employee.
Next, craftsmen dip the cooled glass into special paints or dyes. This provides the base color.
Third,
experienced artists apply the finishing touches, making sure that each stroke
of the brush is precisely applied and that every drop of glitter is in its
proper place.
Fourth, the ornaments are sent to a drying area.
Finally, each ornament is carefully inspected before it’s whisked away
for shipping. The result is a Christmas bobble worthy of your Christmas tree.
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.
