Borowski Glass Creations in the Gardens of Chester Cathedral

A unique exhibition currently awaits visitors to Chester Cathedral Gardens: ‘The Enchanted Garden of Lights’ showcases the finest contemporary glass art while also celebrating the beauty of craftsmanship and imagination. The initiators of the exhibition are Saso and Alex Taneski – owners of Pyramid Designer Glassware in Chester – in collaboration with Glasstudio Borowski.

Due to its great success, the exhibition period has been extended from originally the end of December 2022 to at least the end of April 2024.

Magic Glass

The luminous Borowski glass sculptures transform the place into a fairytale realm. Owls, exotic birds, bumblebees, swans, frog kings, giant ants and many other imaginative creatures bring to life the joy of childhood fables and fairy tales. The playful and brightly coloured glass objects coexist harmoniously with the lush greenery and 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 instead of forming a contrast, the objects merge with the historical surroundings to form a realm of fantasy. With the glowing creatures, the gardens of Chester Cathedral have been transformed into a magical wonderland. Every glass creation has found its perfect place. Wiktor Borowski – Managing Director of Glasstudio Borowski in Germany – together with his employee Reinhard Püschel personally set up the light objects and sculptures and added a touch of magic to the whole scenery.
