Artisan’s Hands – Waterford Crystal

Last week, I showed you some recent still life work.

By now, most of you know I have a fondness for Hands Of The Craftsworkers. I make a point of working to get those kinds of shots wherever and whenever I can. You might remember that a couple of weeks ago, I showed you the glass master from Murano, Venice, Italy. The craftsmen in today’s article are from Waterford Crystal, in Waterford, Ireland.
