MY CAREER

It was at the age of eight that I got the urge to do something manual and artistic. This desire to create with my own hands led me to discover several manual trades thanks to an association called ‘L'outil en main’. It gave me the chance to learn about woodwork, metalwork, mural painting and the different techniques of artistic drawing.


My desire to become a glassblower was intertwined with my desire to develop my knowledge of art and design. This led me to take the *sciences and technologies of design and applied arts course (STD2A, 2015-2017).


Nevertheless, my desire to discover and practise the glass professions has never left me. So I moved away from my native Brittany and chose to learn the glassblowing trade at one of only two glassmaking schools in France. I completed a vocational aptitude certificate (CAP, 2017-2018), to learn the basics of glassblowing. This was followed by a Diplôme des Métiers d'Art (DMA, 2018-2020) - Architectural Decoration with a glass and crystal arts option, which enabled me to continue in the glassmaking field while using my knowledge acquired in *STD2A.


My perfectionism and thirst for knowledge led me to continue my apprenticeship as a glassblower (BMA, 2020-2022), giving me a new, more artistic approach to the craft. All this knowledge in my pocket led me to go abroad to enrich my techniques through different cultures and perfect my language development. So here I am in Canada (2022-2026).


My ultimate goal is to create a personal and professional identity for myself, thanks to my knowledge and fulfilment in glass !
