About the symbol of the new year made of glass and crystal

Berezovka craftsmen took up the "breeding" of rabbits on an industrial scale. On the eve of the holiday, such souvenirs made of glass and crystal turned out to be the most popular. Products are piece, made exclusively by hand. For example, master Valery Baginsky blows up to 30 figurines per shift. There are no identical ones.

Valery Baginskiy, master glassblower of the Neman glassworks:

- "They are different, they can even differ in character. Since this is an animal, it has some kind of expression. It can even be smiling, it can be serious, there are all kinds of options. Just like a chess player calculates everything ahead, all moves in advance, so here you calculate what you will do next. Because what you have not had time to do, to warm up to such an extent that you can work with it, is difficult. Therefore, you need to know in advance what you will do. "

The production of the symbol of the new year from crystal is more technologically advanced, but no less complicated. The molten mass is poured into special molds. And local artists are working on creating the image of the animal.

Sergey Shetik, chief artist of the Neman glass factory:

“Over the course of a year, all this is thought over, done, something changes along the way. this casting is being finalized."

New Year's souvenirs are one more stage in development of the enterprise. They are also designed for tourists who, as always, will come to the Grodno region on holidays.
