Glass Impression – AIHV 19, 2012 Piran


Years ago, I think it was in 1992 or 1993, I have been several times in the Austrian Bärnbach with my friend Aleš Stopar, who works in THE CELJE REGIONAL MUSEUM (PMC). We have been visiting glass exhibitions in the Glass Museum, which is still leaded by Mr. Hans Martin Hittaller. On one of the first exhibitions, Aleš introduced me to Zvonka Požun, who came from Celje to Bärnbach and remain there to this day. The next meeting with Zvonka was in Piran in 2012.


On Sunday, 16 September 2012, at 19th hours, the 19th Congress of the International Association for the History of Glass (AIHV) started, with occasional exhibition in Trevisini Palace, Piran. The title of exhibition was Glass Impression, where Art glass works of two Slovene artists, Zvonka Požun and Marko Jezernik were presented. Visitors of exhibition were welcomed by dr. Irena Lazar, who also presented bouth artists. The exhibition was officialy opened by the Mayor of Piran mr. Peter Bossman.
