Art Explorations Glass Farctory Trip

Art Exploration Gr.8 Nov. 10th

November 10th, We went to a glass factory near HIS

Today, the factory is making cups,
they burn the glass and when it heats up, they blow through the hole from behind.

People there wear polo shirt, because the temperature of the factory is very high.

For some of the machine, workers have to work together.

Hsinchu have lots of glass factories, because you can find silicon and gas easily.
