Since 1995 we are both focused on creative glass work. Our art ranges from vitrails (Tiffany technique), over fusing to mold melted glass.

The mold melting took us years of experiments to optimize. Our efforts paid off - now we can transfer even the richest and most detailed textures from the mold to glass, minimizing mold cracks.

So far we have made 130 artefacts including 60 mold melted glass sculptures. We are also authors of 15 realizations in architecture.
