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 glass ranges from milky white to striped to clear (depending on how long it’s been in the furnace)
– Maximum thickness for cast pieces is 6 cm.

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

Lodging information:
– very comfortable hotels in Haapsalu;
– a bit less comfortable rooms at the Evald Okas Museum.
