Train to Glass is a one-day journey on a historic train, organised as part of the SKLO-HMOTA project. It is more than just getting from point A to point B. Travelling on a vintage train along a regional railway line is an experience in itself, connecting the glassmaking tradition of Lednické Rovne with the region’s railway heritage.
In Lednické Rovne, the Michal Fair awaits you, together with a programme dedicated to glass, which has been produced here for more than a hundred years.

WORKSHOP AT THE FAIR
You can find us at the fair in Lednické Rovne from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the creative workshop Vegetable Puppet Diorama with Marianna Ambrušová.
The workshop combines working with natural materials with the principles of miniature scenography. Using pieces of fresh vegetables and fruit – such as broccoli, carrots or blueberries – participants will create their own small sculptural compositions and bizarre, playful creatures.
The individual pieces will be attached to a simple wire base using pins and miniature modelling nails. The finished figure will then be placed within a prepared layered backdrop, creating a miniature theatrical scene reminiscent of a collage or illustration.
Participants will receive a photograph of their own creation to take home as a souvenir of the workshop. The event logo will also be included in the photograph.
You can find programme in Lednické Rovne here.
Partners
The train journey is organised in cooperation with OZ Spoločnosť Považskej Dráhy. The event partners are RONA Glassworks, the Municipality of Lednické Rovne and the Považie Regional Tourism Organisation.
