Johari Glass Bowl

How its Made

The Johari Glass Bowl is produced using traditional glass recycling techniques practiced by local artisans in Dar es Salaam:

Collection & Sorting
Discarded glass bottles and glass waste are carefully collected and sorted by color and quality.

Cleaning & Preparation
The glass is thoroughly cleaned to remove labels, impurities, and residues.

Melting Process
The recycled glass is melted in high-temperature furnaces using locally adapted, energy-efficient methods.

Hand Shaping
While molten, the glass is hand-blown or hand-molded into bowl shapes by experienced artisans.

Cooling & Finishing
The bowl is slowly cooled (annealed) to ensure durability, then smoothed and refined by hand.

This process minimizes waste, reduces environmental impact, and preserves traditional craftsmanship.
