About the Article
The glass objects seem to have been smoothed by the current and are reminiscent of stones or ice formations of mountain torrents. The shades of mint green or grape blue on their surface give them a natural radiance and create traces of landscapes.
Similar to the way the pebble is carried along by the stream of the waterfall and shaped by it, the master in the fornace (glass furnace) shapes his glass by enveloping and modelling it with heat and moulding tools.
About the Technique
The Soffiato technique gets its name from the fact that craftsmen blow air into a long metal rod connected to the glass to stretch and shape it - a tradition in glassmaking that goes back thousands of years. The experience and skill of the master glassmakers, combined with this ancient process, transform simple glass into true artistic masterpieces, unique in their kind.
