Program
What you can look forward to:
Excellent coffee prepared from beans roasted locally.
Original works by glass artist Martina Josífek Zelinková, who specializes in stained glass, glass mosaics, and micro-mosaic jewelry. Martina combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach.
You can also admire other handicrafts on display in the studio, such as solid wood products, ceramics made using traditional methods and fired in a kiln, glass products from the local glassworks in Janov, and artistic blown glass products by Aleš Zvěřina from A-Z Design.
Among other things, you can also look forward to a unique, life-size glass nativity scene created using the fusing technique from glass frit. This is melted in a furnace at a temperature of 820 degrees into a fine, even structure resembling a painting.
Carefully cut fragments are slowly heated in a furnace until they transform into a smooth, dense, light-reflecting decoration.
The glass nativity scene is life-size, measuring 150 x 180 cm.
