On Friday 29 January, Berlin Glas e.V. will host the Working Group for a 2 day workshop on glass fusing and painting on glass. We are really excited to start the workshop with a mold-blowing demonstration by artist Torsten Rötzsch using the Ennion molds developed by the Roman Glassmakers in the UK! These are the same molds that were used to create the pedagogical video for the exhibition on Ennion of Saidon at the Corning Museum of Glass.
 
The event is realized in cooperation with AGYA, Berlin Glas e.V. and with the kind support of the Museum für Islamische Kunst - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
 
A very special thank you to David Hill and Mark Taylor, founders of the Roman Glassmakers and developers of the Ennion molds, and to Amy Schwartz and William Gudenrath of The Studio at Corning, for helping us get in contact with the Roman Glassmakers!
 
**Please note: Due to limited seating, please register by 26 January at isl@smb.spk-berlin.de. The confirmation email serves as admission ticket at the entrance of the Pergamon Museum.
