Where wonder begins

Children and glass art. At first glance, perhaps not an obvious combination. But anyone who has ever seen a group of primary school children arranging, etching, or painting pieces of glass with concentrated gazes knows that the magic of glass works!

GLASRIJK Tubbergen has long considered education an essential part of its mission: sharing wonder, also with the youngest generation. We have proudly welcomed, guided, and inspired dozens of primary and secondary school classes. Young people have become acquainted with various techniques, met artists personally, and discovered that glass art is something you can feel, make, and understand.

Learning together, close to home
Thanks to collaborations with local schools like Canisius, with artists, and with dedicated volunteers, we've been able to create wonderful programs in the past. From Tiffany technique to glass painting, from forest assignments to glassblowing demonstrations – the children were immersed in the world of glass art for a morning.
