The Story Of Sin Studio Gallery
Sin Studio Gallery marries Vitrum Vivum technology and art. We provide exclusive collaboration based on the globally unique glass casting technology. Our vision is to create original pieces with a distinctive style. Each product is strictly limited by number and color. We cater to leading international artists, especially in the field of fine arts, who look to transform their existing work or create brand new artworks.
Currently, Jiří Šín and his team are building a studio with gallery spaces in the Central Bohemia region to present the technology to the public. The studio’s centerpiece will be the world’s largest glass casting furnace with revolutionary autonomous cooling.
Vitrum Vivum
Invented by Jiří Šín, the unique technology is based on a groundbreaking
method of cast glass production. It employs the revolutionary process of
pouring hot glass into a closed mold enabling the creation of a faithful
cast of any object.
During his studies in Kamenický Šenov, Jiří Šín faced the limitations of the
production technologies in the field of glass sculpture available at the time.
He would not accept these limitations preventing artists from free creative
expression as fact and built his own furnace to explore and push the limits of
glass production. He went on to set up a workshop in the Czech borderlands where
he built large furnaces and spent twelve years recreating and enhancing established
methods until he developed a groundbreaking glassmaking technology which allows
artists to bring all their creative ideas to life.
This is an essential shift in the field of cast glass sculpture, perfected and promoted by Professor Stanislav Libenský in the early days. The new technology invented by Jiří Šín takes the craft of glassmaking to the next level, making it possible to create three-dimensional glass sculptures with a realistic structure without any limitations in size and shape for the first time in history.
