Masters\u00b4Courtyard Gallery, Vene St.6, October 3-November 30
\nPresentation of research materials Oct.23, 5 p.m.
\nThe show presents some of the oldest original artefacts from the Estonian Art Museum, along with recent reconstructions of the H\u00fcti products (originating from 1628-1664) and improvisations inspired by them – bottles, bowls, jugs, beakers, cups etc.
\nThe main sources of information for doing the reconstructions have been Maks Roosma\u00b4s (1909-1971) research paper “H\u00fcti Glassworks at Hiiumaa. An Outline of a Glass Manufacture\u00b4s Activities in 17th-Century Estonia,” Kunst Publishers, Tallinn, 1966, along with Fund 17966 of the Estonian Museum of History, containing data from M.Roosma\u00b4s 1958-1961 excavations at the village of H\u00fcti – a systematized catalogue of found glass artefacts and written materials.
\nThe newly-produced glassware was hand-blown at the Skankristall Ltd. glass factory (previously Tarbeklaas) between August and October, 2003. supervised by prof.emeritus Maie-Ann Raun.
\nThe exhibition celebrates the beginnings of the Estonian glass industry 375 years ago; it points to continuity and high artistic standards
\nthroughout the 20th century, beginning with the old Lorup Factory, which continued under the name of Tarbeklaas and Skankristall, and to the national glass industry\u00b4s potential in the 21th century.
