A series of vignettes performed throughout National Glass Centre’s building bring glass making and acrobatics together, inspired by the 1300-year glass making history in the North East, National Glass Centre’s publicly accessible hot glass production studio and the 2000-year tradition that sees Chinese Acrobats transform ordinary domestic vessels with daring feats of skill
Visitors will find themselves immersed in moments of great wonder, delighting in the astonishing virtuosity that is shared by both glass and acrobatics.
