NovaScotian Crystal is dedicated to preserving the old ways of making
crystal, and has attracted the attention of several Old World craftsmen
with the same ideals. Along with preserving comes sharing, and our
Canadian craftsmen and apprentices are learning the skills needed to
become future master craftsmen. As well, all of our trained craftsmen
are introducing a new audience of collectors to the value and beauty of
traditionally mouth-blown, hand-cut crystal. During Nocturne, we will
be creating crystal for visitors to see. They can tour the glassworks,
sample apple cider from crystal glasses, and shop from the splendid
array of finished pieces.
