VITRA Symposium from 24th to 28th September 2007 in Nancy and Vannes-le-Châtel - France
VITRA is a virtual learning tool conceived to help European glass training centres and glass specialists to share glass-making techniques and acquire the same skills. As a multilingual training device, VITRA gives easy access to self-training video courses. The teaching is centered around the skills and know-how of the trade and is completed with various documentary and multimedia resources.
The Symposium will give VITRA Members the opportunity to consider extending the VITRA Project to other Glass European Schools willing to share their own skills and to adopt the concept of the Project.

Later this year, the celebrated award-recipient stages a solo exhibition, which opens on 9th December 2007 and takes up the entire new wing of Glasmuseet Ebeltoft, Denmark.
