Higher, Secondary and Apprentice Glass School in Novy Bor
www.glassschool.czThe Glass Nový Bor school was founded in 1870, as the local glass businessmen appreciated its necessity not only due their own interests but also due to the further industrial development of the whole region. Besides painting and modelling the schools taught also common educational and professional subjects, as well as the workshop practice, in case of the Nový Bor school it was painting and engraving, later on cutting, and finally hot shaping of glass.
Current glass school was established in 2004 through uniting two glass schools. The school provides secondary school tuition in glass blowing, engraving, cutting, painting, and stained-glass. Secondary school-leavers may continue on higher level at three-year study programme and graduate as DiS – diploma specialist.
The school organizes also special courses in glass blowing, engraving, painting, stained-glass, fusing and cast glass for Czech and foreign public. All courses are realized at school´s own workshops, studios and glass work.
