Most of our day today was spent at Kitengala Glass Art and Kitengala Hot Glass. It is a magical place, started by Nani Croze in 1981. The village has grown to include two more workshops started by her sons. The artisans work, live, and farm in the village. I’m pretty sure this is what my heaven looks like.
The glass is all recycled from bottle waste collected in Nairobi.
You can tell the artisans really enjoy their work. I interviewed Tom, the manager, and I look forward to sharing that as part of my Kenya Adventures podcast on The Just Craft.
There are guest houses you can rent, and I think a stay in one may need to be added to my bucket list. It was a beautiful day!
Oh I want to go there!!

That is beautiful. The colors and mosaics remind me of Parc Guel in Barcelona. Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us.
