The programme helps students shape their understanding of the specifics of the material along with the extensive possibilities of its application in the environment, interior and architecture; therefore, in addition to studying ergonomics and function, attention is also given to compatibility of the glass with other materials and contemporary technology – metal, wood, concrete or integrated light elements. In terms of design, material is not a goal but a means to achieve the idea, and since the result sought by both the entire school and the Glassware Design programme is a high quality of design, every invigorating initiative gets support. In parallel with professional subjects, students also acquire general education secondary school subjects. Opportunities for further studies are available in Latvian and European design universities and colleges, while employment is available in architecture and design offices.
