Swiss Museum of Stained Glass and Glass Art
Residency
The Vitromusée Romont is delighted to welcome the Tunisian artist Sadika Keskes to the Espace Michel Eltschinger from 27 March to 5 April. During her residency, she will create a blown glass stained-glass piece entitled Abstraction using an innovative technique that combines glass and metal while hot. Visitors will be able to discover the different stages of the process and engage with the artist about this technical and artistic innovation. Over the weekend of 28 and 29 March, the public will also be able to attend glassblowing demonstrations, during which she will create two vases using the same technique.
