Our symposion is held at the museum dedicated to a renowned Estonian painter Evald Okas. Glassblowing takes place in the open air studio in the museum yard.

The exhibition opens July 22 at the museum.

We would welcome your presentations, slide shows etc. – bring pictures with you!

– The furnace contains 80 kg of glass.

The museum would like to choose one piece from every participant for its permanent collection.
