CREATIVE GLASS LAB: Create Your Own New Year’s Ornaments Inspired by the Tradition of Paraćin Glassmaking

The end of the year brings a new Creative Glass LAB. The New Year Glass Laboratory is dedicated to reinterpreting traditional motifs from Paraćin glassmaking by painting holiday ornaments. Participants will learn about the history of producing and decorating glass ornaments, as well as their stylistic features – distinctive patterns, lines, and designs that have shaped the visual identity of Paraćin’s glassmaking tradition. They will then reinterpret these motifs on glass baubles and decorative elements using traditional glassmaking techniques such as etching, painting, and gilding.

During the workshop, participants will also use the ArtGlass calculator to determine the carbon footprint of their glass creations.
