November 10th, we went to a glass factory in Hsinchu for our Art trip. We walked under sun for 10~15 min to get there. It's already very hot outside, but in the factory it's hotter.
The workers were working very hard. Non of them were chatting or spacing out. The boss said that they work 24 hours almost no resting.
The first melting process of recycle glasses it's 1500 degrees C. And second time it's about 1100 degrees C. Hsinchu is so famous for glasses making because there are many silicons and natural gasses, which is materials for making glasses. But the last 10 years, many of the glass factory move to China, and so now there are only few large factory in Hsinchu.
We saw them making glass bottles. Then they show us how to little animals like snail, penguin and sea lion. Ms. Sheilah and Mr. Marchione tried to blow the glass, but both of them fail.
Making glasses might seem easy but it is actually very hard.
I learned more knowledge about glass, I also learned more about Hsinchu's culture and history.
