About us
Kolodiumglass is a Prague-based association founded in 2024, connecting glassmaking, welding, and archaic photographic techniques, particularly the wet collodion process.
We run artist residency programmes, provide specialised glass processing and welding services, and operate a professionally equipped glass workshop and photographic darkroom.
Our programmes are open to artists of all backgrounds and experience levels.
Artist Residencies in Prague
Our Glass Art Residencies in Prague provide time, space, and support for creative exploration and the development of individual projects.
Residents primarily work with kiln casting, but can also experiment with fusing, grinding, polishing, mold making, and sandblasting.
The program is open to artists, designers, and anyone interested in glass, regardless of prior experience.
Residencies take place at our studio in Prague, offering access to professional facilities, mentorship, and opportunities for collaboration.

Our Goals
Preservation of Craft Tradition
We are dedicated to preserving skills that might otherwise be forgotten — such as kiln casting, fusing, glass grinding, polishing, mold making, sandblasting, and the traditional wet collodion photographic process.
Innovation and Development
Beyond preservation, we focus on artistic research and technical experimentation, expanding the creative possibilities of these crafts.
Popularization and Education
We aim to make the beauty of glass and photographic processes accessible to everyone. Through workshops, lectures, and open studios, we invite the public to engage with these art forms.
Supporting Artists
We believe every artist should have the opportunity to create. That’s why we provide residency programs, workspace, and technical facilities for those who wish to develop their practice with glass or photography.
