In preparation for the exhibition and using available archaeological evidence, the museum has built a wood-fired glassblowing furnace from daub. This combination of refired clay and straw insulates well and does not require any supplemental heat source or bellows to achieve temperatures hot enough to blow glass. The Museum’s team of expert glassblowers has been studying objects made at Jalame and experimenting with recreating them without the benefit of modern tools, like the glassblower’s bench and shears. A series of videos filmed at the wood-fired furnace will be available in the galleries, showing processes such as bringing the furnace up to temperatures necessary to blow glass and techniques and tools used by ancient glass blowers. The working furnace itself will be featured in a series of weekly demonstrations for Museum visitors during summer 2023.
