Recycled glass vase (in Slovenian)

In the workshop, we will create a unique vase from discarded glass bottles and decorate it using various cold glass techniques. Participants will learn how everyday objects can be transformed into new, functional, and aesthetically pleasing items.

First, we will cut and sand the bottles, then decorate them using different decorative processes. We will try several cold glass techniques such as engraving, etching, and sandblasting, which allow drawing motifs and creating patterns and reliefs on the glass surface.

The workshop encourages creativity, manual skills, and material reuse, while introducing participants to glass as an interesting and versatile medium for making art.

In the workshop, we will learn:

• glass cutting,
• edge sanding,
• engraving,
• etching,
• sandblasting.

Each participant will create their own decorative vase from a recycled bottle, which can also be personalized with their own patterns.
