The YGS 2026 Children’s Glass Symposium brings together young artistic talents, the traditional craft of glassmaking, and the unique setting of the Crystal Valley.

From June 18 to 21, 2026, selected students from elementary art schools in the Czech Republic and abroad will gather in Kamenický Šenov to transform their designs into actual glass works under the guidance of experienced glassmakers and educators.

The symposium offers children a unique opportunity to explore the world of glass directly within the glassworks, studios, and workshops of the world’s oldest glassmaking school, as well as at the Preciosa Lighting and Antares Art glassworks.

The project’s ambassador and artistic director is Prof. Liběna Rochová.

Vernissage: Sunday 21 June at 2 pm
