Celebrate the Celtic festival of Beltane in Nižbor

Before you cross the bridge to the castle where a rich program awaits you until evening, start your day with an unforgettable experience at our glassworks. During the guided tour, you will see how glassmakers work with the four elements: fire, water, earth, and air. We will be stamping Celtic symbols onto real crystal right before your eyes.

For those who want to experience it firsthand, you can, for an extra fee, try working with a glassmaker's blowpipe at our workbench under the guidance of an experienced master glassmaker. This is a unique opportunity to peek inside the furnace and blow into the mass of hot glass.

In the grinding workshop, both adults and children can come and be creative. You can hand-grind, for example, one of the Celtic runes onto your glass or beer glass. We will gift-wrap the product for you, and it will remain as a memory of this day.

You can also look forward to excellent coffee and snacks from JOJOkava.
