Verres Rêvés - Créatrice Bijoux en Verre Filé

<p> Since my childhood I am fascinated by the glass! Whether it is in stained-glass window, opaque, transparent, cold, hot, soft... One day, my parents took me to visit the workshop of a <u>glass-blower</u>. <em>This is when everything began....</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> As soon as I saw this<strong> magic</strong> operating between the glass-blower and the glass,<strong> a passion was born!</strong> My parents would have been able to abandon me in this workshop, I felt so good there. I began a small collection of glass creations. We were going to bathe on a lake not too far from our house, but what interested me most, it was that there was a store of home-made creations of all kinds. Just next to the lake. I was every excited at the idea of this day on the lake because, if I was wise obviously, I could have a glass unique and home-made creation of this store. <em>I let you imagine my sadness when this one closed...</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> Then years passed. While thinking of the glass creations, I started my studies in interior architecture, and at the same time I was organizer for child.  </p> <p> I left as Au Pair girl, in Finland, a very enriching, deeply moving experience and full of happiness and love!</p> <p>  </p> <p> Meanwhile I continued the studies in Space Design, and I spoke always a lot (too much?) of glass-blower's job… I had already begun the studies, I didn’t feel giving up everything. My family clubbed together to offer me one day of initiation to the spinning of the glass. What beautiful discoveries!</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="3a_goutte-1464593942" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/322860/3A_Goutte-1464593942.jpg"></p> <p> <em>Glass drop spun realized with Jean Pierre Baquere</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> I remember it myself as if it was yesterday… I spent one day with Jean Pierre Baquere, in Paris, in his beautiful studio. He showed me, makes try, even let totally make! My first glass creations spun … It is brilliant.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Jean_pierre_baquere-1464083177" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/320173/jean_pierre_baquere-1464083177.jpg"></p> <p> <em>Jean Pierre Baquere</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="20151101_122758-1464594105" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/322862/20151101_122758-1464594105.jpg"></p> <p> <em>Octopus realized glass spun by means of Jean Pierre Baquere</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> I am someone enthusiast and who can’t stay in place, and it is maybe by this frustration that I couldn’t continue to work the glass that I needed to discover the world. I thus took a plane direction New Zealand!</p> <p>  </p> <p> As Au pair Girl again, a wonderful family, 3 children, among whom the biggest of 17ans (you will have understood it, I didn’t take care of him, except to teach to him to drive) 10 months of happiness, learning(apprenticeship), love, exchange, enjoyments, madnesses, in brief … Another extraordinary experience!</p> <p>  </p> <p> Then, I had to come back in<strong> France</strong>, finalize my studies,<strong> always the glass was spun in head. </strong> Having <em>worked, travelled, discovered of magnificent things and real-life experiences of the wonderful moments,</em> <strong>I always need to work the glass!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><img alt="Projet_el_onore_3__clonas_sur_var_ze__is_re__rh_ne_alpes__dimanche_20_mars_2016-1464598431" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/322901/Projet_El_onore_3__Clonas_sur_Var_ze__Is_re__Rh_ne_Alpes__Dimanche_20_Mars_2016-1464598431.jpg"> </strong></p> <p> <em>Photo from Arthur Vignaud, of my work, spun glass</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> That’s why, I launched my project! <u>I created my small workshop</u>, with a small blowtorch. That began at my grandmother's place, I occupied her dining room, her lounge, up to the kitchen! Certainly, I am a little bit intrusive.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="12239538_1020092931418462_64799477042079336_n-1464596217" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/322879/12239538_1020092931418462_64799477042079336_n-1464596217.jpg"></p> <p> While finalizing <strong>my studies in Design</strong>,<strong> I started my company</strong> in February, 2016.<strong> “Verres Rêvés” </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> I participated in small markets, here is my stand :</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Marche_eleonore_anger_ville_sous_anjou_verre_reves_bijoux_verre_fil__ok_internet-1464594280" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/322864/Marche_eleonore_anger_ville_sous_anjou_verre_reves_bijoux_verre_fil__ok_internet-1464594280.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Since then, I am happy to present you my creations, of jewels mainly. However, I can’t create that of<u> very small sizes</u>, because<strong> the thermal shock </strong>between the flame of the blowtorch (900 in 1200°C) and the ambient temperature of the studio makes that the creations <u>crack and break.</u></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Perle_fendue_eleonore_anger_verres_reves-1464081268" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/320151/perle_fendue_eleonore_anger_verres_reves-1464081268.jpg"></p> <p> <em>Example of internal crack, weakened pearl</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> I need an oven which is in<strong> 500°C minimum</strong>, to allow to recook my creations and so, to maintain them.</p> <p> Their cooling has to be regulated and soft. *</p> <p> This oven cost 1000€, that is why I launch into the participative financing.</p> <p> - Power of 450 W / 230 V mono</p> <p> - Weight: 13kg</p> <p> - Maxi temperature: 600°C</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Four_recuisson_verres_reves-1464081507" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/320153/FOUR_recuisson_verres_reves-1464081507.jpg"></p> <p> <em>Oven in 2 doors</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>Thanks!</strong></u></p> <p> <strong>I want to thank a lot to my family, my close friends, my circle of acquaintances who supported me during this adventure!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Thanks to: <strong>My family, among which Maria Guironnet-Dupuis,</strong> my grandmother who supported my invasion in her house, who welcomed me my blowtorch and I, and my family as a general rule, which frank and honest was to my creations, my madnesses, my projects.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Baptiste Babiarz</strong>, an old friend who launched in self-employed person a few years ago.

It’s a small challenge for him who usually realizes photos in outside and landscapes, birds.... But his challenge is made a success! It’s with pleasure that I shall contact him for other photos but also that I strongly recommend him! Here is his web site: <a href="http://arthur-vignaud.wix.com/photographie" target="_blank">http://arthur-vignaud.wix.com/photographie</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Julien Paul</strong>, an atypical character that I like a lot. Curious and interested in my project, I thank him for welcoming me my blowtorch and I in his workshop for a while, for making me some room, for making that I feel at best, proposed to make carry jewels for the future.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Christian Chavanon</strong>, the father of an old friend! With him we share the same passion: the crafts! Christian is a wood turner. We worked together occasionally, but beautiful projects are soon going to arrive, with the oven!
