The Delicate Art

Glass blowing is a delicate art and a worthy exponent is Eric Ninness of Salisbury Road, who pursues this hobby in his spare time. Tubes of glass are softened over a gas flame and at the right temperature are blown and shaped into all kinds of articles, from the simple kiwi to the intricate and delicate models of the Endeavour.
