Since 1977 participation in numerous national and international exhibitions. Artistic director of the International Glass Symposia in Lauscha 1986 and 1989; "From the broad environment of lampwork glassblowers in the Thuringian Forest, who followed Albin Schaedel (1904 - 1999) from the design of animal figures into the vessel, Hubert Koch was the only one who could really break away from his model and develop a highly independent formal language, even in international comparison. His delicate glasses, in which he often juxtaposed undecorated surfaces with echoes of natural forms, have won many awards." In original box.
