i want to know why these two people who never dreamed of making stunningly beautiful glass wear never dreamed of doing the same thing. that's heavy. >> that is. >> what was it made of originally? >> spaghetti sauce jars, you name it, whiskey bottles, clear bottles and jars. >> this place exists only because this region was insanely good at recycling glass. so a consortium of residents thought they would create a way to use that glass locally. this is where it starts, bottles and jars from the recycling center. >> that's sad, empty. but making stuff like this is not easy. it takes a lot of work before you even get to the hard part. the glass has to be sorted, crushed, color tinted and then melted in a 2400 degree furnace whether it's ready to be poured and poured. and then you have to be fast because it cools and hardens almost immediately.
