March 2021, artist, mountain culture... Christophe Huguenin, artisan glassblower... Trient Vallée, Switzerland... The creation of a ski tourer, and some explanations from Christophe about his work... "Since 1988, to meet the many demands of my clients, I have been developing various ways of working with glass. Tubes and rods soften under the intense heat of the blowtorch. It is at this precise moment that the glassmaker's hand and breath must encourage the material to move and transform." "To obtain complex shapes in hollow glass and thus offer infinite variations of refraction to the light. Statuettes, lamps, glasses, or carafes become gifts capable of moving the person who gives or receives them."

This work is done using a glassblower's rod.
