Glass blowers Chloé Grevaz and François Dubois met during their studies. After working for a few years at the Cristalleries Royales de Saint-Louis, the couple freed themselves to develop a traveling oven. Their insatiable desire being above all to discover more and more of the technique and the glassmaking gesture, they chose to make the demonstration of the blowing of glass a real educational performance.
They move in this way, constantly adapting to new places and audiences. Their performances, in addition to being real shows, convey a discourse accessible to all.
