Secrets de Fabrique : Roger Charreyre – Découverte du métier de verrier à la flamme

In the flame at over 1,200°, a glass rod in each hand, the melting material becomes the only tool needed to give birth to a dancer, a bull, a bird… When the tube takes the place of the rod, the flame becomes softer and more enveloping. In a continuous rotating movement, the glass tube takes on its rounded shape with a gentle breeze, becoming a Christmas bauble, a vase, a bottle? Other activities: thermoforming, flashlight beading.
