The Vetroricerca Story
The Vetroricerca Glas & Modern Association of Bolzano was established in 1996 thanks to the will and great passion for glass shared by a group of people. A passion which has become a desire to study, experiment, develop and pass on the knowledge and magic inherent to this beautiful material.
The ESF bureau of Bolzano has given us the chance to realize our desire. The ESF bureau has believed and continues to believe in the potential of this association.
Over the years our aim was to offer an alternative and experimental approach to teaching the art of glassworking, and we have developed significant experience in the sector thanks to numerous cultural activities, the realisation of works donated to charity, collaboration with schools in the area of every kind and level, and continuous collaboration with the Free University of Bolzano’s Faculty of Design and Art.
Over the years this activity has let us form a solid bond with institutions and the private sector both in Italy and abroad, making Vetroricerca’s activities a local resource "for all".
The courses for operators in the glass industry, the management of the first national advanced teaching and technical training project for "Experts in Glass Technologies", collaboration with Italian universities, research centres and experts, scientists, designers and technicians renowned at an international level, made it possible for us to do in-depth studies and acquire specific know-how in traditional glassworking also in the industrial sector, with the aim of acquiring a level of qualification and professional standards in line with technological evolution in the glass sector.
