9 a.m. Nature in Glass, Glass in Nature – Sandblasting – Workshop

In Pavilion M of the Botanical Garden, you’ll find demonstrations of glassmaking techniques, along with workshops and a sale.

On Tuesday, August 25, you’ll find Daniela Divišová and her “Pískovačka” there. Come see demonstrations of glass sandblasting techniques and join in on a glass sandblasting workshop.

On the following days, these glass artists from the Crystal Valley will be there:

• Wednesday, August 26: Urbanglass, Eva and Karel Urban – glassblowing over a torch, hands-on opportunities, and sales of wire-wrapped glass

• Saturday, August 29: Marcela Růžičková – glassworking over a torch, flower wire-wrapping workshop, and sales of wire-wrapped glass

Workshops are always from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (break from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.).

The Liberec Botanical Garden will host an exhibition of works by glass artists from all corners of the Crystal Valley, inspired by the shapes, textures, and colors of the local flora and fauna.

Visitors can look forward to a harmonious dialogue between nature and art, where glass becomes both a reflection of and a part of nature. The installation blends sensitively into the garden setting, highlighting the natural connections between the material and nature.

The exhibition invites visitors to pause, observe the details, and discover the delicate beauty that connects human creativity with the natural world.

Exhibition Curator: Lenka Patková

The exhibition runs through September 30, 2026.

Admission is included in the regular admission fee to the botanical garden.
