Students from the Glass School Nový Bor will show visitors how a glass furnace operates, how to blow and cut glass as well as many other technologies of glass processing, such as painting, engraving, stained glass making etc.
Šípek and charity
Apart from pieces made by students, visitors will be able to purchase original items from Bořek Šípek’s workshop, wine and small presents from charity sale. The shopping experience will be warmed by the rather tasty mulled wine, finest Moravian sausages, Christmas ginger bread and other tantalizing snacks. To top it off there will be Christmas carols sung by pupils from the elementary school in Londýnská Street. Carols and folklore traditions will also be performed by children from HAF ensemble, who also made the Nativity Scene for the New Town Hall.
