Creation of a Glass Sculpture Park
The Idea
“In September 2022, we launched the exhibition “What Makes Us Human” by Marek Zyga at Chester Cathedral. It was at this exhibition where through a conversation with the Head of Marketing at the cathedral, we learnt about how the Cathedral were focusing their 2023 marketing efforts on Wildlife and Climate Change. Straight away we thought of Borowski and having the wildlife garden sculptures in their garden. Over a meeting, we presented the idea that Borowski’s wildlife garden sculptures would “shine a contemporary light” on their Wildlife & Climate Change focus.”

The glass artists at Borowski know about the wondrous ability of their creations to merge with their surroundings. No matter in which setting a Borowski sculpture is presented, it never appears as a foreign body, but seems to connect with its location and create a unique new atmosphere there. Borowski glass objects have already demonstrated this talent at numerous major events and exhibitions. In this respect, Wiktor Borowski was immediately ready to dare this new experiment and present the creations of his glass studio in front of the sacred and imposing setting of the cathedral.
Glasstudio Borowski
For two generations the Borowski family business has been creating exceptional, timeless glass objects in its glass studio in Poland . The collections represent a special light and humorous concept of art, typical of Borowski. The colourful glass creations can be found worldwide in selected, exclusive shops and in Borowski’s own galleries. Today, unique pieces by Stanislaw, Pawel and Stani Jan Borowski can be found in renowned galleries, collections and museums, e.g. the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.
