A sailing ship as an art object – the SAILOR combines abstract forms with surreal motifs and expressionistic colours. A small work of art that inspires the imagination to travel.

Handcrafted, each glass object is unique
If you order a SAILOR, please consider that every SAILOR is an individual, no one looks like the other. When making a SAILOR, Pawel keeps reinterpreting the idea. Thus, on the one hand, the sculpture’s appearance has developed over the years, and on the other, its shape and colours change with each individual production process. But don’t worry – we will contact you and send you photos to make sure you are completely satisfied with your SAILOR. However, the complete design of the object remains in the hands of the artist. Please understand that it is not possible to place an order based solely on the customer’s specifications.
The sail is decorated with an overlay engraving. Overlay engraving is an old, laborious glass finishing technique that requires a lot of time and the highest precision. For this purpose, a base glass is first coated with a layer of colored glass. Then this layer of paint is removed from the base glass with an engraving device. The depth of the picture is created by the varying thickness of the layer of colored glass that has been left.
Each object shown here embodies the craftsmanship of our glassmakers. Behind each of the objects that appear so light, cheerful and colorful is a complex, often sweaty manufacturing process. Today only a few people or manufactories master the old, demanding craft of the glassmaker.
In the Borowski Glass Studio you can work with almost all known techniques of cold and hot glass processing - this enables the artists to realize challenging visions and constant new, experimental ideas.
The three brothers Stani-Jan, Wiktor and Pawel Borowski learned how to use the glass pipe and the glowing material from scratch. While Wiktor mainly takes care of sales, Pawel and Stani-Jan work in the factory on site every day at the glass furnace.
Mouth-blown and traditionally handcrafted glass objects may have minor color and shape deviations that are unavoidable for manufacturing reasons. Air inclusions in the glass are a sign of the handmade product and should not be regarded as a defect. There may be deviations of a few centimeters in the size specifications.
