This is a torch glass spinning demonstration. Mainly from Murano glass chopsticks, I make a pearl or sulphide. According to my imagination or from a preliminary sketch of the project of my jewel. I choose the glass according to its characteristics: color, transparency, opacity, charged with copper oxide, silver, or sulfur, unstable glass that changes color according to the techniques I adopt etc...
During the fusion, the magic happens, the glass changes, I create my own patterns on the outside and inside of the pearl or sulphide.
It is a moment of poetry and sharing where young and old turn and satisfy their curiosity.
