Living Glass Heritage: Innovative Knowledge Transfer
10.30-11.30 h
The theme of this year’s forum is Circular Glass as an approach in glass education, glass materials, and crafting techniques, as well as an artistic meta-naratives and circularity in glass in the broadest sense, including artistic poetics and cultural expressions. This session examines both traditional and new approaches to transferring glassmaking knowledge, their integration into educational and industrial programmes at all levels, and the enhancement of circularity within these educational practices.
Key questions for the session include: How can the sustainability of traditional glassmaking practices and knowledge be maintained? In what ways do these educational models contribute to circularity in glassmaking? How can digital tools improve the transfer of knowledge in glassmaking? What role do interdisciplinary approaches play in contemporary glass education? How can these educational models meet the future needs of glass artists? What are the advantages and limitations of these approaches.
Circular Glass Crafting
12:00 – 13:15 h
The second session introduces the ArtGlass Calculator and its advantages for artists, and examines how experimental platforms such as glass laboratories can promote circularity, digitalisation, and innovation among glass artists.
Key questions for the session: What does a circular approach in contemporary glass craft entail? How can waste glass be effectively reused in artistic practices? What are the main challenges in implementing circularity in artistic and craft-based glassmaking?
From Craft to Legacy
14:15 – 15:20 h
This session explores how glassmaking practices can evolve into lasting cultural, educational, and artistic legacies. It focuses on the transmission of knowledge, skills, and values across generations, examining the role of education, documentation, digital tools, and sustainable practices in preserving both tangible and intangible heritage. The session addresses how traditional craftsmanship can remain relevant in contemporary contexts while responding to social, environmental, and technological change. How can tacit, hands-on knowledge be effectively documented and shared? How can contemporary artists and craftspeople actively shape their own legacy? How can craft remain relevant and meaningful for future generations?
