Full description
This tour will introduce you to all stages of production. You will visit the workshop with 14 burners to see how ornaments are getting their shape by blowing. Next you will visit the workshop where you'll see how ornaments get plated inside with silver so that they shine, and are then painted outside. Finally, you will be shown how ornaments are painted by hand with different motives – winter landscapes, flowers, fairy tale characters and more.
After the visit to the production site, you'll see the exhibits factory’s Museum of Christmas ornaments from all over the world. One of the 3 museum’s rooms has Dutch-style Christmas houses with a merry-go-round, fountains and the lake made of ceramics.
