The Glass Engraving Atelier preserves one of the most intricate and time-honoured techniques in glassmaking. Each piece is shaped by the steady rhythm of the engraving wheel, where skill and intuition meet to reveal detail that painting or cutting cannot achieve.
The atelier creates bespoke artistic works and replicas based on both original designs and client concepts. From fine ornaments and portraits to contemporary architectural features, engraving remains the purest form of expression — precise, quiet and enduring.
Beyond creation, the atelier also provides consultation, restoration, and training, ensuring that the craft continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.
Jaroslav Šára
Head of Glass Engraving Atelier
A graduate of the Faculty of Art and Design at Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, Jaroslav is devoted to the art of engraving and the creation of historical replicas. His vision is to place this ancient craft into a modern context, one that highlights its purity, precision and sculptural beauty.
He is also an active educator, sharing his expertise with institutions worldwide, including the Pilchuck Glass School in the United States. For Jaroslav, engraving is not about ornamentation: it is about finding clarity in every line cut into glass.
