What makes glass workshop De Oude Horn an indispensable place in the Netherlands? How is glass art passed on to new generations of artists and what does such an 'education' look like? One of the most important and influential glass artists in the Netherlands, Bernard Heesen, finds the transfer of the glass craft of great importance. That is why he trains artists like Nienke Sikkema and Josja Schepman to become independent glass blowers.
Curator Tomas Hillebrand is a glass artist himself. That is why he knows better than anyone what it is like to make glass art and what kind of challenges you face sometimes. In this guided tour, he takes you along the exhibition and our permanent collection of glass art.
