UMYO GLASS
Not far from the Crystal Valley, in Sezemice, where Svijanský Zámek is in sight, the world-famous glass artist Stanislav Libenský was born, who together with Jaroslav Brychtová made fused glass sculpture famous. This unique place was chosen for the establishment of the Umyo studio. We specialize in the production of utilitarian objects using the technique of fused sculpture, especially luxury vessels, basins and decorative frames. Our work combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Our pieces are not just functional objects, but artistic artefacts that tell a story of passion, craftsmanship and love for glass.
Eva Nováková, a graduate of the Faculty of Art and Design at UJEP, brings her artistic perspective and eye for detail to Umyo's work. Her international experience from residencies in Japan, USA, Australia and Germany is reflected in the work, which bears the stamp of originality and innovation. Jan Zuska, with his technical background and project management experience, ensures that our visions become reality. Our studio also serves as a community space.
Umyo is not just a glass studio, it is a meeting place. We are happy to welcome you for workshops or artist residencies. Stop by for a coffee at our drink point and check out the unique glass objects. We have a playground for the kids, a "Czech Glass" cache for the seekers, and for the romantics, a sitting area by the pond. We'll show you how a fused glass sculpture is born and share with you a piece of glass art first-hand.
