The raw materials are selected from local high-quality natural ores and refined by special processes to ensure that the glass has pure color and crystal texture. The production techniques include blowing, wire drawing, inlay and other traditional techniques. The firing process is rigorous, and the glass undergoes precise temperature control in a high-temperature furnace before it can be shaped. The course duration is usually 1-3 days. Short courses can experience basic blowing, while long courses can deeply learn complex inlay techniques to meet different needs. <br><img class="confluence-embedded-image confluence-external-resource" width="300" src="https://nephele.ctrip.com/target/0101z12000ixpdz7nEA30_W_10000_1200.jpg?proc=autoorient" data-image-src="https://nephele.ctrip.com/target/0101z12000ixpdz7nEA30_W_10000_1200.jpg?proc=autoorient"></p><p><strong>Good teaching quality:</strong> The number of students in the class is strictly controlled, and the number of students is generally small, so that the teacher can pay full attention to the operation details of each student, give guidance and correction in time, and ensure the teaching quality and learning effect of the students.
