Glasriket's glassworks and cabins invite you to this year's Glass Art Weekend on April 29-30. Vernissage weekend Glaskonst is the weekend when the summer's glass exhibitions open in festive forms around the glassworks and cabins.
The basic concept of the glass art weekend is to offer program points at the various glassworks and cabins. The visitor thus has the opportunity to go on a classic glass factory tour to enjoy the glass and the program points on offer.
