Fun if you are in the area
I have a short attention span and am not a huge fan of glass blowing and glass making, but I still found the tour of the Waterford Crystal factory quite interesting. I've seen glass blowing demonstrations in Venice, but the scale of machinery present at Waterford far outstrips anything that I have experienced before. It was pretty cool to see how expertly the craftsmen shaped and molded the glass on the fly, and there is a certain sort of awe that is inspired while watching them.
My favorite part of the tour was walking through the area where the artists worked, and seeing some of their personal projects. The wide range of creative works presented there (none of them which will ever be sold in public) were really fun and interesting to see. (PHOTOS COMING LATER)
