Originally from two continents, Anne Donzé and Vincent Chagnon bring together two paths and specialties into glasswork : Anne, a pâte de verre specialist, gathered a wide range of experience at the CERFAV (Centre Européen de Recherches et de Formation aux arts verriers) in Vannes-le-Châtel and the Massana School in Barcelona, while Vincent, a glassblower, trained in Quebec and the Czech Republic.

This collaboration urges them to bring out the reassuring cocoon of the technique : the technique in the service of the idea, and not the idea forced by the technique.

The notion of object of use or of decoration is naturally and historically associated with glass-blower’s job. They wonder about these complex craft techniques, of another age by making glass packagings in a world where the packaging is not more than a utility but a symbol.
