Artistic director of the International Glass Symposia in Lauscha in 1986 and 1989; "Hubert Koch was the only one of the many lampwork glassblowers in the Thuringian Forest who followed Albin Schaedel (1904 - 1999) from the design of animal figures into vessels to really break away from his model and develop a highly independent formal language, even in international comparison. His delicate glassware, in which he often juxtaposes undecorated surfaces and echoes of natural forms, has won numerous awards."
