Visit the Crystal Castle
One of the organizers of IGS, glassmaker Jiří Pačinek, prepared an unusual experience not only for IGS visitors. He will present his artwork through interior and exterior installations and objects at the originally Gothic castle in Česká Lípa. In this exhibition he puts an emphasis on unique uranium glass which will be lit by rays of light in magical underground cellars. Trees, plants and animals made of glass will also appear on the walls and in the Renaissance part of the castle.
