Hahah i had the same reaction when I found out about this project, which is why I jumped on the opportunity to go to Eindhoven to volunteer for them. It’s super cool and inspiring. And setting up a workspace at the maker space my burner friends just started is the dream. But the local faction of precious plastic is less enthused. I’ll see if I can push them in the direction that feels right to me.

A a caveat, I think very few people have managed to build a successful business out of building products - because it’s labour intensive and the techniques are still rough. The products don’t feel « expensive ». But that’s mostly because it’s quite a new craft imo. And I’ve seen some beautiful transparent sheets from the sheet press that look way cooler than stained glass.
