Breathe-Blow / Glass Blowing Collection
Glass Workshop Hrastnik, with over 150 years of history, evolved from traditional glassblowing to automated poured glass production. The theme of glass design blends contemporary techniques with tradition, exploring the material's flexibility at high temperatures.
The design focuses on creating unique pieces through material exploration and on-site glassblowing, rather than following standard production methods. The exhibition examines the balance between uniqueness and serial production, the impact of process on the final product, and the role of error in creation.
