Work at the hot glass studio

There are only a few dozen glass art departments in the world, and very few of them have the opportunity to provide students with work near the blown glass furnace.

The possibility to choose between two directions: studio glass art and glass design

During the first two years of study at the Bachelor's level, students have the opportunity to get acquainted with all available techniques and styles of glass art processing, before choosing a specialized field that best suits their preferences.

Professionally oriented fundamental disciplines painting, drawing and sculpture

Glass artists work with a material that is endowed with exceptional qualities of transparency and light transmission. That is why we need a unique ability to portray material by graphic means and develop spatial thinking. The program of basic art disciplines is built according to the specifics of the material - glass - and is aimed at the need for figurative or constructive thinking.

Computer-aided design with enhanced 3D modeling course among the priority disciplines

Drawing, painting and sculpture are the three pillars on which all artistic disciplines are based. We complement this triad with computer design. The artist in the modern world can’t feel comfortable without being able to work with computer modelling.

Performing a qualification study during the entire period of Master of Arts degree

A full-fledged study of the chosen topic in the artistic and scientific field requires considerable effort and time. Only at the Glass Art Department, MA students are guaranteed the opportunity to pay full attention to the chosen qualification work during the entire period of study at the Master’s educational level.

Developed international relations and participation possibilities in exhibitions, symposiums, conferences in Ukraine and abroad

Based on the Glass Art Department workshops one of the most important in the world International Blown Glass Symposium in Lviv are being held since 1992. Students can watch closely the work of world-famous artists from different countries every three years.
