Glass in Olomouc

"A glass symposium" at the Šantovka Gallery

The interactive workshop known as the Art Studio was established at the Olomouc Šantovka Gallery at the end of 2014. It provides a beautiful exhibition and work space for artists and designers all year round. Visitors to the shopping centre can watch them work and can even participate in the creative process at various workshops.

The Šantovka Art Studio will hold a "glass symposium" on 20. - 30. 6. 2015. This will involve workshops with glass components provided by Preciosa Ornela from Desná v Jizerských horách. Glass is an as yet untried medium for most of the participating artists, but all of the participants are greatly looking forward to working with this new material and gaining inspiration for the creation of glass mosaics and objects which will give the glass from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech beads brand a new expression and shape which enables it to artistically decorate interiors.
