Kitengela Glass photo essay by Jerry Riley

Kitengela Glass uses recycled glass to create new objects of function and art. I came across barrels of broken glass, separated into colours, during one of my recent visits. After sorting, the glass is melted down and is in the hands of the many talented craftsmen at Kitengela. We at GenerationKenya were very impressed with the ingenuity and environmental sensibility at work here. As a photographer I found the barrels of sparking glass, each glowing a different shade or colour, to be perfect subject material.
