GLASS: 4 ELEMENTS BY ANNA TORFS IN CZECHIA















AJETOGLASSWORKS


BELGIUM HAS A LOT OF TALENTED DESIGNERS. MAINTENANT I WANT TO PRESENT MISS ANNA TORFS 2 U. SHE'S AN ARCHITECT( YES ST-LUCAS)AND WENT TO PRAGUE FOR A POST-GRADUATE IN STAGE DESIGN. ONCE THERE, SHE GOT FASCINATED BY THE ANCIENT BOHEMIAN GLASSWORKS. SHE LEFT THE THEATRE-SCENE AND MADE CONTACT WITH WORLDS BEST GLASS-ARTISTS: BOREK SIPEK AND PETER NOVOTNY, FROM AJETO GLASSWORKS IN LINDAVA(NEAR PRAGUE).SHE WORKED HARD AND AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TRIALS AND ERRORS AND STRUGGLES WITH GODS 4 ELEMENTS (EARTH,WIND,WATER AND FIRE), SHE FINALLY LAUNCHED HER OWN GLASS-COLLECTION IN 2002.

I ONCE VISITED THE GLASSWORKS OF KOSTABODA(SWEDEN). I CAN TELL U , I WAS BLOWN AWAY. THIS IS FAR BEYOND THE NORMAL COOKING AND BAKING. THESE GUYS ARE NATURALLY SUPERNATURAL! IT WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.SWEDEN ALSO. I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!

ANYWAY HERE ARE A HANDFULL OF PICTURES AND LINKS FOR U DESIGN LOVERS. ENJOY (T)HIS MIRACLES.
