@mathieu_grodet_glass for his 6-day flameworking murine workshop, āMurrini Portraiture: Animal Formsā, July 13-18! Donāt miss out on this awesome opportunity to study with Mathieu! Details and booking for this extraordinary experience can be found by clicking the link in the bioš„
This intensive 6-day course explores the art of murrine, focusing on designing and composing images in glass through a clear, step-by-step process. After a brief historical overview, students use the Franchini technique to create original murrine while developing a strong understanding of image construction.
Through hands-on flameworking, participants build detailed glass cane designs that increase in complexity throughout the week, resulting in finished pieces with optional cold working. The course also introduces a āfast murrineā approach, enabling expressive imagery to be created efficiently, while still supporting more traditional, slower methods.
Mathieu Grodet is a flameworker, glassblower, and illustrator born in Orleans, France. He currently lives and works out of his studio in Killaloe, Canada creating pieces that bring the past of glass together with themes of the present using traditional techniques with a modern twist. He marries and reconstructs form, function, and design with an aim to create discussion. Mathieu also lectures and teaches glassblowing, flameworking, and enameling techniques. His recent workshops and demonstrations have included cities in China, Japan, Turkey, Ireland, Canada, and the United States. His work is in private collections across Europe and North America and can be seen at the Corning Museum of Glass and the Art Institute of Chicago.
