Tour of Dig Deeper: Discovering an Ancient Glass Workshop

Dig Deeper: Discovering an Ancient Glass Workshop is an immersive and fun exploration of the world of ancient glass makers and those who study them. In the 1960s, archaeologists from the Corning Museum of Glass and University of Missouri, Columbia, excavated a glass workshop in Jalame, near Haifa in modern Israel, which was active between 350-400 CE. Among the discoveries from Jalame, which will be on view in the exhibition, are chunks of raw glass, parts of the glass making furnace, debris from glass blowing, and fragments of utilitarian glass vessels.
