Glass blowing is an endangered craft in Palestine. It is particularly renowned in Hebron where it has been practiced for hundreds of years within the same families. Today, very few artisans and workshops are still operating, due to a decrease in the footfall of tourists, political instability, and the advent of machine production. Turquoise Mountain works with three different glass blowing workshops in the West Bank. Two artisans create their beautiful pieces using the “Baladi” glassblowing technique, whilst the third artisan uses the technique of lampworking. Location: Jaba’; Hebron
