Atelier - The Authors
"... My name is Monica Faverio, I introduce myself as a glass creator.
I work this material in multiple ways, glass melting (fusing) and stained glass are the methods that I often use. In the glass melting at times I use the thermoformed (slumping) method and the lost wax fusing method, that for its complexity requires the creation of unique pieces often extremely elaborate."
"... My name is Sérgio Lopes, I started working on glass with Monica Faverio and I specialized in the work of glass with flame. I work mainly with Murano glass using the technique of blowing glass with which I create several pieces, highlighting some lines of blown glass jewelry."
