Hello to everyone, could someone shine light on the social standing glassblowers?
More specificly, I am wondering about the time(roughly medieval) when they were periodicly moving from one place to another, were they seen with suspicion, due to being strangers or admired for their craft?
What I seem to remember is, that they moved as a closeknit group of familys and some apprentices, so the work wouldn't provide much mingling with the locals.
Also, would they be able to aquire more wealth (and move it around with them instead of leaving it in the local pub)than the average trade?
Thanks for your input.
