Glassmaking Between Tradition and Innovation

Under the leadership of the Foundation for the Advancement of Economic Science – FREN (Serbia) and in collaboration with partners, including Center Rog, the Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship and Innovation (Serbia), and Museum Sydøstdanmark (Denmark), we will develop an original methodology for the green and digital transition of creative glassmaking practices. The project includes the development of innovative tools, such as a carbon footprint calculator and a catalog of 30 ideas for introducing circular economy principles in the design and production of glass products.

Glass as a material faces many challenges; the work process not only impacts the natural environment but also carries high production costs, limiting artistic and creative expression. In response to these challenges, the project will develop state-of-the-art tools for “smart” glass production. The software developed within the project aims to create new approaches in glass production—partner organizations will explore how glass products can be designed virtually, endlessly modified, shared, co-created, standardized for physical production, or presented in “metaverse” galleries and other virtual environments. The project’s results will be tested in 3 glassmaking laboratories, where glass designers will create 12 new functional glass objects or glass art pieces. One of these labs is the glass lab at Center Rog, one of the few publicly accessible glass workshops in the region.
