The exhibition will present a collection of glass objects that are the result of the artist's long-term artistic and technological research. The sculptures are full of internal tension, not only due to the diverse approach in the creation of the composition of these objects themselves, but also due to the presence of other materials that also serve as connecting elements of the individual parts of each object and bring an almost disturbing visual contrast to the resulting works.

more

From Monday to Saturday, you can look forward to production demonstrations and creative workshops for children and adults.

Production demonstrations by Glassor and Rautis - blowing of glass beads and Christmas decorations, painting Christmas tree decorations.

Take a ride on the historic tram from Viaduct through the city centre to Vratislavice and enjoy the stylish decoration by Preciosa Beauty.

Exactly two years after the birth of the iconic glass objects for the American film GLASS ONION : A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY, the drawings will reappear at Jiří Pačink's glass factory in Kunratice near Cvikov, and the famous film set designer and art supervisor John Dexter will once again be remotely involved in the production of a unique series of ten specially selected crystal objects from director Rian Johnson's film GLASS ONION! These will be exclusively presented during this year's Crystal Valley Week in Liberec at the neo-rock Café Pošta, from 28 August to 24 September 2023, as part of the special exhibition TRIBUTE TO GLASS ONION, dedicated to the collaboration of PAČINEK GLASS with T STREET PRODUCTION and NETFLIX.

Glassmaking studio Ladislav Ševčík Bohemia Crystal focuses on rich cutting and engraving of Bohemia crystal glass with the exclusive high-quality handcraft. The precision and geometry found in every detail of the product’s workmanship is unique and unparalleled.

During this year's Crystal Valley Week, Lasvit will present the iconic Herbarium installation in addition to several new decorative glass collections.

In the glass components of this design, the wild nature of the Lusatian Mountains is preserved through flowers and twigs encased in glass, which have left their imprint on it. When the molten glass is poured over dried flowers, herbs or small tree branches, they burn, but leave an imprint in the glass. The result is a glass "herbarium" that will retain its fragile beauty forever.

The festival week is now accompanied by a beautiful glass dragon. The mythical beast spits out fire to melt its glittering tail, saying: 'Glass is eternal. It is our history, present and future."

more

The AJETO glassworks will present its new collections and will also bring the glassmakers' beer: the Osmička. Come and taste it in Linserka.

Crystal tower. The museum tower houses an artwork by brothers Jan and Ondřej Salanský - the 26-metre high glass ladder Climax Paradisi, which was created as part of the Crystal Valley project. Although it is made of glass, at first glance it looks as if it were made of stainless steel. It is made of technical glass that is silvered on the inside.
