Dr. Goshka Bialek’s article “Wtrącenia w szkle od grafiki po metale” (Numer I, 2025) presents her pioneering research on the use of printed and metallic inclusions in glass. Drawing on her practical experience, she explores both the challenges and possibilities of incorporating these materials, offering methods for selecting suitable metals and techniques.

The article emphasizes how inclusions can extend the creative potential of glass artists, particularly in engaging with the internal, or “positive,” space of a sculpture—a space made visible through transparent and semi-transparent materials. By examining metals historically used to convey information, Goshka connects material experimentation with a broader exploration of cultural and artistic history, providing artists with new tools to enrich their practice.
