KRAKÓW GLASSWORKS

Located in Zabłocie, at 3 Lipowa Street, it reminds us of the industrial history of this popular district. In 1931, the first Kraków Glassworks was established at this address, producing bottles mainly for vodka but also wine, mineral water and pharmacy glass. Today, owned by the Łukasiewicz Research Network, the successor to that glassworks organises demonstrations of manual glass forming and workshops where we can watch glass products in the making or try to make our own. Apart from that, it houses historical and contemporary exhibitions of glass handicraft by local artists writing another chapter in the history of Kraków design and applied arts.
