Welcome: meet the products of our Olomouc workshop

It was around the year 2000 when glass rods first came into my hands. Although they were very pretty and decorative on their own, I kept looking for some use for them. They came in handy above all around the home, for example as supports for plants in a flowerpot.

But something kept telling me that this was not the best they could do and that I could go further still. Fire changed everything. Once heated to a certain temperature, a rod could be shaped into something completely different. A drop, for one, delighted me so much that I made a whole sea of them.

As a complete newcomer to the craft, and self-taught at that, I kept learning and never stopped trying to improve, until a few years later more intricate shapes appeared in my workshop too, and above all ones that could be offered to other homes as well.
