Meet two glass artists working with the flame of the torch
Observe the malleability of flame-heated glass and its transformation into pearls.
Eri Maeda and Pei-Chen Chang invite you to share rare moments around their flame creations
Eri Maeda was born in Tokyo and lives and works in Vannes-le-Châtel. Eri uses glass creation to interpret the essence of Life and Nature, whose nuances are expressed in each jewel.
After training at the Tokyo Glass Art Institute and then at the Centre de Formation aux Arts Verriers (Cerfav) in Vannes-le-Châtel, Eri obtained the CAP Decorateur sur Verre in 2005 and became a European Glass Companion in 2006. She composes jewellery with series, even cascades of glass, metal, precious stones and freshwater cultured pearls.
Pei-Chen Chang is originally from Taiwan where she started working with the glass paste in the Liuligongfang workshop. After this first experience Pei-Chen Chang chose to learn glass in France. She chose to train at Cerfav, obtaining successively the CAP as a glass decorator and the Diplôme de Compagnons Verriers Européen. In 2012, she completed her training with a diploma in Creative Design in Crafts. She then decided to set up her workshop in Vannes-le-Châtel. Pei-Chen composes its jewellery around its flame-shaped glass beads in which constellations of bubbles float poetically.
