Horizon Workshop: Sensitive Explorers of Glass

The Atelier Horizon Verre: two universes, four hands, two practices and a know-how that constantly stretch its possibilities of exploration beyond the universe of each of the two artists who compose it, towards a new perspective, extensible and renewed, the Atelier Horizon Verre.

Born from the creative elective affinities of Mélanie Gracia & Justin Hemery for a common medium of expression, the Atelier Horizon Verre traces the correspondence of their two practices and universes during their training at the École Nationale du Verre in Yzeure, with a DMA "Art of Glass and Crystal" for the first, a CAP "Art of Glass and Crystal", then a BMA "glass blower" for the second.

Three years of in-depth research and workshop work in Quebec confirmed this artistic harmony, which led to the creation of the Atelier Horizon Verre, a sounding board for their respective and shared expertise.

Mélanie likes to explore varied subjects with a constant search for the association of figurative or abstract elements, with in the background the permanent establishment of a space for dialogue with those who will look at her works and who remain the central actors of her work.

Justin draws his inspiration from nature and the multitude of phenomena that express it, whether mineral, meteorological, geological, telluric or celestial. The emotion that stems from its manifestations and the humility they induce are a source of infinite research for him. He develops a search for multiple emotions and an equally prolific creativity.

The result of these creative fields with panoramic opening of emotions is the Atelier Horizon Verre.

The Horizon Verre Workshop is located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
