Categoria D - Ornare in Vetro -

After a ABC in applied arts, i got a BTS (two-years technician qualification diploma) in virtual expression and space communication, in Boulle artschool in Paris. Now i prepare a design license.

I like manual working: sculpture and Hand-made volume making. I take my inspiration from Larraine and Vosges countryside where i live. In these regions natural elements, vegetation, anatomy have inspired Art Nouveau artists from ecole de Nancy, at the beginning of the 20th century, like the glass masters Gallè and Daum. Glass working is still very present here. I have ever done some glass little workshops of fusing and glass paste, but I have never blown glass. I really hope to do it and work with Murano craftsmen.
