Insights on the world

  • • Patrick has had a long career in glass working
  • • Through glass, he expresses his thoughts on the world around him
  • • For three years he was the workshop manager at J&L Lobmeyr

Patrick Roth attended a glass trade school, where he specialised in glass cutting and finishing. For ten years after graduating, he worked in industry in various companies. He spent three years as workshop manager at the renowned Vienna glass manufacturer J&L Lobmeyr. "It was there that I discovered that I can give a face to almost any creative idea," he says. Patrick taught at a glass school in Rheinbach for several years before opening his own studio in Bregenz in 2016. Today, his focus is on free sculpting. Patrick's concepts and sculptures often revolve around human behaviour and its consequences. Global political events, social, economic, and ecological grievances are inspirations for his creations. "The process of creating a sculpture is a unique experience each time."
