Our Story

Speculo was founded in 2019 by Grisha and Yachdav with the vision of becoming the Israeli home for glass.
Creating art and design through glass, and offering a variety of glass workshops and courses for all ages

Grisha and Yachdav met during their studies in Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem and decided to open a studio to make this magical material accessible for all

The choice of location in Caesarea, surrounded by the sea, is part of their desire to create a unique and exciting hands-on experience with glass 

Yachdav Gilbar

Yachdav's romance with glass began in his childhood, when he would visit his aunt’s glassblowing studio in Chicago. From there it was his natural path to study glassblowing at Bezalel.
Yachdav dreamt of making the magic of glassblowing accessible to the public. Speculo has made this dream a reality.

A space that mixes human connection and creativity, filled with glowing glass. 

Grisha (Gregori) Zilber

At his second year at Bezalel, Grisha entered the glassblowing studio,
and from then until the end of his
degree, he didn’t leave.
Glass is a challenging and exciting material with a life of its own. Grisha succeeds in each workshop to reveal the magic of glass, with professional guidance and love for the material.
