About the designer:
From 1952 Jan Sylwester Drost studied at the Faculty of Glass of the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, in the studio of Stanislaw Dawski (diploma in 1958), from 1959 he worked as a designer at Zaklady Mechaniczno-Optyczne "Opta" in Katowice.
In 1960 Drost started working for forty years at the Design Center of Huta Szkla Gospodarczego "Zabkowice" in Zabkowice Bedzinskie, where he was the organizer, designer and design manager. In 1972 he studied in Sweden, he had the opportunity to learn about the work of glassworks in Orrefors, Johansfors, Lindshammar, Sandvisk, Hofmantorp and in Reijmyre glasbruk. He also practiced in the ceramics factories in Rörstrand and Gustavsberg. Also in 1972, he received a scholarship from the Swedish government, he gained knowledge at the Faculty of Industrial Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Konstfackskolan, at the Centers of Industrial Design in Stockholm and Milan, as well as at the Glass Institute in Växjö. After returning to Poland, he received a two-year creative scholarship from the Council of the Fund for the Development of Artistic Creativity.
Drost skillfully combined his technological knowledge of glass pressing with artistic sensitivity, and in the seventies he was granted a patent for a device for forming glass products by extrusion. As a result, vessels with a freely shaped upper rim were created. Drost was constantly involved in coming up with new technological solutions that improved the embossing of patterns. He also experimented in the field of machine processing of the outer surface of the extruder and the inside of the cast iron mold, creating glass products with the texture of tree bark and rings, shells, etc.
