LTStraipsnyje analizuojamas interpretacijos metodas, susietas su senųjų epochų bei istorinių stilių stiklo meno kūrinių inspiracijomis šiuolaikinėje stiklo menininkų kūryboje. Šis metodas (kaip esminė simpoziumo bei parodos koncepcija) buvo pritaikytas Estijos dailės akademijos prof. Marės Saarės suorganizuotame edukaciniame renginyje, kuris įvyko 2015 metų vasarą Olustverės (Estija) vietovėje. Renginyje dalyvavo grupė Baltijos šalių aukštųjų mokyklų stiklo specialybės dėstytojų ir studentų. Sėkmingo metodo pritaikymo dėka buvo įgilintas stiklo meno istorijos pažinimas ir pasiekta naujų originalių kūrybinių rezultatų.
ENNaturally, various travels and new experiences and impressions coincide with the summer time. In July I was able to get thoroughly acquainted with the Estonian glass artists’ work and their exhibition activities. I can claim that this time, the most interesting discoveries of this field did not happen in Tallinn, at the Estonian Academy of Arts (which is famous, since the interwar period, with its strong artistic glass education) but in the province - Olustvere and Järvakandi in the central part of Estonia. The annual Estonian glass artists’ exhibition "Moment" was currently exhibited at a recently established gallery in Järvakandi. This discloses a very important feature - Estonian artists do not avoid cultural events in the province. To promote the wider processes of art knowledge they organize interesting events also in regional and very small areas. Olustvere has a very favorable situation for cultural tourism and infrastructure. The history and architectural heritage of this small village goes back to as early as the 17th century. Olustvere is famous in Estonia for the best preserved manor, which is used for community and guests’ needs. The manor homestead is surrounded by a romantic Englishstyle park. Exhibition "Interpretation" had been recently opened at the art gallery of Olustvere Manor. While organizing the event the initiator of the project, Professor at the Estonian Academy of Arts Glass Department Mare Saare, sought to encourage young artists to look more profoundly into the history of the art of glass and lean onto the roots of world‘s glass-work while creating. Works presented in the exhibition belong to glass specialty students who come from eight different art institutions in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Portugal.All students participating in the exhibition presented a description of creative interpretation and the source of inspiration - a photograph of the historical glass piece, thus it was interesting to observe the exhibition not only in a visual and aesthetic sense but also in an educational sense. Reading the comments of glass artists, it became clear why they chose one inspiration object or the other. Texts provided historical knowledge about the evolution of glass-making and also helped to clarify what specific objects are relevant to contemporary glass artists, what their attitude towards the old values is and what aesthetic and technological characteristics students from various countries highlight and emphasize.
