Borowski Exhibition in Chester

The Enchanted Garden of Lights

Panorama Chester Cathedral Garden

Borowski Glass Creations in the Gardens of Chester Cathedral

Visitors to the Chester Cathedral Gardens were treated to a unique exhibition from April 2023 until the end of April 2025: “The Enchanted Garden of Light” showcased exquisite contemporary glass art while celebrating the beauty of craftsmanship and imagination. The exhibition was initiated by Saso and Alex Taneski — owners of Pyramid Designer Glassware in Chester — in collaboration with Glasstudio Borowski.

Due to its great success, the exhibition period was extended from the original end date of December 2023 to the end of April 2025.

Magic Glass

The glowing Borowski glass sculptures transformed the venue into a fairytale realm. Owls, exotic birds, bumblebees, swans, frog kings, giant ants, and many other imaginative creatures brought back the joy of childhood fables and fairy tales. The playful, brightly illuminated glass objects coexisted harmoniously with the lush greenery and the rich history of the cathedral.

Fusion of art, nature and history

The modern, colorful shapes and designs initially seem to contradict the ancient walls of the cathedral. But rather than forming a contrast, the objects merged with the historic surroundings into a realm of fantasy. With the glowing creatures, the gardens of Chester Cathedral had transformed into a magical wonderland. Each glass creation had found its perfect place. Wiktor Borowski — Managing Director of Glasstudio Borowski in Germany — together with his colleague Reinhard Püschel, personally installed the light objects and sculptures, adding a touch of magic to the entire scenery.
