Hom : Experiential Learning : Glass Art Course
Though there are many kinds of glass such as window glass, bottle glass, and cup glass, glass art in Korea is still in its childhood, while glass industries, glass art, and even glass for construction continue to develop remarkably in advanced countries such as USA and countries in Europe.

Nonetheless, the reason why glass art in Korea is still in its childhood is stereotype that glass cannot be made or dealt with outside the factory.

The purpose of education in our museum is not only to refute such stereotype and to make the art more accessible to people, but also to let people make works of glass art necessary in daily life such as small-sized containers, tables, and lamps for themselves, and furthermore, to help them major glass art.
