Workshop with Lucio Bubacco - Day 1

Lucio Bubacco's famous chandelier




After showing the group around in his workshop, Lucio introduces us to the world of sculptural lampworking. What a great challenge.

In a couple of mindblowing demonstrations Lucio Bubacco shows us how to control heat and how to use gravity in order to create his fantastic creatures.

For lunch we are joined by the famous lampwork artist Vittorio Constantini and his wife. They spoil us with a delicious risotto! After lunch Vittorio demonstrates the creation of a little bird. Wonderful!





The afternoon passes quickly. We practise all the techniques that we have learned in the morning and as the workshop closes we leave for our appartements. Our heads spinning with all the new inspirations and sensations of the day.
