Designed by Tihomir Tomic (Croatia) It isn’t everyday you meet someone whom others refer to simply as a “master.”

But when you stand in front of Tihomir Tomic´ and he says “all I care about is the glass,” it somehow makes perfect sense. Tomic has been designing glass for over 40 years. His training at the renowned Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb was strengthened by an early apprenticeship with 20th century glass master, Raoul Goldoni. “The technique you learn in school,” says Tomic´. “But you must then use that technique to bring out what’s inside you.”  It is a goal that has taken a lifetime of work and dedication.

Tihomir Tomic designed Teroforma’s mouthblown, non-lead crystal Stems, Flutes & Decanters, Specialty Glasses, Cruets and Candlesticks.

Made at Rogaška Glassworks (Slovenia) It takes 12 years of training to become a master glassblower…about as long as it takes to become a surgeon.

When you spend some time at Rogaška, you understand that tradition runs a bit deeper than you might expect. Many of the glassblowers we met proudly told us that their fathers or even grandfathers had been glassblowers and had stood on the very same platform where they now stand. Machines might be faster, but we haven’t found one yet that takes pride in its work.
