Antique Blown Glass Art
Antakya is one of the world's first glass production hubs. Glassmaking, which was very active in the 1940s, atrophied over time and was even ignored. Despite the fact that glassmaking has grown in popularity as a tourist attraction in Antakya, very few people live to practice art. Today, Adi Asfurolu is one of the most prominent representatives who strive to authentically execute the art of the old masters and preserve their memory. adi Asfurolu, who has transformed the art of blown glass into an artistic style, displays his products in the Antique Glass House he founded, conducts workshops, and participates in numerous art-related activities in addition to his medical practice.
