钢琴家勇哥Hot ingenuity: Our visual feast at LAVA Glass Art Studio when we stepped into the LAVA Glass Art Studio on New Zealand’s North Island, a hot and creative atmosphere immediately surrounded us. This is not only a place to showcase glass artwork, but also a wonderful space to feel the charm of glass production. We are full of expectations and curiosity about the upcoming exploration journey. The interior of the studio is colorful, and the light reflects the dreamy light through a variety of glass works. We see many fine glass artworks here, from fine ornaments to large installations, each piece condensed with the artist’s infinite creativity and virtuosity. We travel through these works, each step to feel the unique charm and infinite possibilities of glass art. What fascinates us most is the live glass production performance. Alongside the hot furnace, artists in professional protective clothing and using long rod tools cleverly shaped in the melted glass. We saw a process of glass work from scratch, a magical experience of transforming fire and sand into art. In the process, we not only witnessed the artist's mastery of materials, but also felt their dedication to beauty. In the studio's store, we also had the opportunity to buy these unique glass artworks. Each piece is handmade and carries the hearts and souls of artists. We carefully select these artworks with New Zealand characteristics to bring home as an unforgettable memorial to our journey. As the tour ended, we became more impressed with the LAVA Glass Art Studio. This is not just a place to display and sell glass art, but a vivid classroom for people to understand glass art and experience the creative process. Our journey adds a special cultural experience to this visit, and that passionate ingenuity and creativity will shine through our memories for a long time.
