For the second year, a hot glass workshop took place in the yard of the Evald Okas Museum. Titled “Maritima”, the event was dedicated to the 725th jubilee of Haapsalu City. Maritima, the Latin word for “seaside” was used in the 13th century to refer to the West Estonian province. Organized by the Estonian Glass artists\u2019 Union, in cooperation with the Evald Okas Museum, the event lasted from June 28 through July 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

While the last year\u2019s workshop was dominated by an international crew of artists, this time most of the participants were from Estonia. Yet, we did have some \u201cforeign assistance\u201d as well; for the construction and maintenance of furnaces, we owe thanks to the Korean artist Sung-Hwan Hong, whom we had the honour of working with last year; again, he demonstrated his unique \u201cdouble bubble\u201d pipe. Robert Tannahill from Canada had brought wooden masks to use as molds for glassblowing. The guests joined for a presentation of a \u2018vegetarian show:\u201d glass being blown\/cast into peppers, potato cavities etc.<\/p>\n

Assistance was provided by master glassblowers Ivan Antonovitsh ja Leonard Lissatovitsh.<\/p>\n

The workshop culminated in a glass exhibition, opened at the E. Okas Museum on July 4, participated by 29 artists and featuring works executed on site, as well as earlier creations. The show stayed open through July 31.<\/p>\n
