The glass department of the Kisképző (Vocational and Applied Arts High School) is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. This year is special not only for our glass department, but also for the entire profession, as 2022 is also the international year of glass.
In 1952, Júlia Báthory - an internationally renowned glass designer and industrial artist who received several awards both abroad and in our country - founded the glass department at the then School of Industrial Design, which has trained several generations of glass artists since then. Through the most characteristic objects of this 70-year period, the exhibition attempts to present the changes in applied arts and art pedagogy of each era.
The exhibition is also unique in that the presented material also provides an exciting insight into the most basic techniques and means of expression of glass art, from the earliest years to the present day.
