Join a private, hands-on glassmaking experience in the heart of Prague's historic Malá Strana district. Perfect for travelers looking to experience authentic Czech craftsmanship, this workshop allows you to create a truly unique, personalized souvenir.
Begin with a 5–10 minute introduction and master demonstration. Sit by the glass burner (kahan) and watch a live demonstration. The master artisan will explain the safety basics, show you how the glass behaves at 900 °C, and create a sample bead right before your eyes.
Next, take the master's seat, and under direct one-on-one guidance, melt the glass and roll your very own original glass bead (vinutá perle).
Because your bead is made from real molten glass at 900 °C, it needs to cool down slowly in the atelier for at least 1 hour after production to prevent cracking. Leave your bead to cool safely, enjoy a beautiful walk around the Mal á Strana neighborhood (just steps from the Vrtba Garden or Kampa), and pick up your finished handmade jewelry anytime later that day. Your bead will be assembled onto a simple, functional leather cord or bracelet for you.
