Glass Art in the Schmiedegarten at Rattey in Schönbeck
In the heart of the village of Rattey, across from the castle, artist Werner Kothe has been showcasing his glass art objects in an open-air exhibition accessible year-round since 2020. The glass art at the Schmiedegarten in Rattey, Schönbeck, is an unusual place where craftsmanship and artistic expression meet—nestled in the tranquil landscape of Mecklenburg’s inland region, not far from the Baltic Sea coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Fusing Technique: Glass Objects from the Studio in the Schmiedegarten
In his studio in the Schmiedegarten, Werner Kothe creates his art objects using the fusing technique—a process in which layers of glass are fused together through heating. Interested visitors can learn this unique craft for themselves in classes. Those who wish to explore the exhibition in depth can request a guided tour directly from the artist via his website.
