The Bohemian Glass Route

The Czech Lands have been identified with greatness in glass design and craftsmanship since the Middle Ages. The Glass Route Study Tour is a complete overview of traditional ornamental glass of the past to contemporary designs and innovations in both fine glassware and architectural uses.
The Glass Route Excursion to Northern Bohemia, where glass production began as early as the 13th century in the foothills of the Lusatian Mountains, includes visits to renowned glass artists and to the towns Železny Brod and Novy Bor, and more. The program also includes an opportunity to make a piece in blown glass at a famous regional glassworks.
