About

During glass blowing, air is blown into a molten piece of glass to create a bubble and the craftsmen work on that blob of glass to give a delicate shape. It is a time consuming delicate process that requires the blowers to work in a furnace at very high temperatures ranging between 1,300° and 1,400°C, and sustain the radiating heat.

At the Faizy Crystal Langkawi, the raw material (the glasses) for making the items are brought in from Netherlands while the color shades come from Germany. The technological know-how of making the glassware has been adapted from Sweden. However all items are designed and handcrafted at this studio by local artists. The items here are produced for sale in both domestic and international market (mostly in European market at present).
