9. International Symposium of Engraved Glass
In just one month, the 9th International Symposium of Engraved Glass will be in full swing. The team preparing the symposium is looking forward to seeing you in Kamenický Šenov! Don't forget to put the dates 9-15 June 2025 in your diaries.
The symposium is intended to promote the tradition of Czech glassmaking at home and abroad and, above all, to stimulate interest in engraved glass as a very specific technology, typical of North Bohemian glassmaking and especially of the Kamenický Šenov region. Almost two dozen artists, representing Czech, European and American scenes, are participating in the event. Participation in the symposium is therefore considered a highly prestigious affair.
The oldest glass school in Europe, which traditionally participates in the event, also operates in the place of the symposium. The symposium also includes a student section in addition to a section for professionals. Not only its students will get acquainted with the work of world-famous artists, but they will also see masters of engraved glass maintaining a great craft tradition. Professional lectures will also take place.
The theoretical symposium itself will bring further professional knowledge of Czech engraved glass and also information from abroad about professional developments in this field in museums, research institutions and also at manufacturers.
