Shades of Ngwenya glass blowing factory in Muldersdrift receives about one ton of recycled glass every day. The glass is collected by members of the community and bought by the factory, thus providing income for the disadvantaged, while at the same time cleaning up the environment. The glass is crushed and melted down overnight, and then the following day this molten glass is drawn and blown into extraordinary works of art.

The general public is welcome to visit the factory and watch the glassblowers transform the molten glass into beautiful vases, ornaments, and figurines. Free demonstrations take place every weekday and also on the last weekend of the month. Many of these glass objects are for sale, and you can also order custom made glassworks.

The Ngwenya Glass Village also has a restaurant and a children's area with toys and a sandpit.
