about our name(verre de mer)
the name is french for glass of the sea.
Born and raised in southern France in 1960
where the art of glass making is present on every corner,
my fascination grew stronger each day.
It is not until 1985 with the help of Hank Claycamp(Original owner of Mt. St. Helens Glassworks)that I finally entered the magical world of glass making; and let me tell you...it is magical.
I think the most attractive part is the instant reward.
Some items may take 2 hours, some 3 minutes, but the reward is instantaneous.
I like to compare it to a foreign language.
*you speak glass fluently
*you know a few words
*or you don’t speak at all.
The more you practice the language, the better you will become.
When you have enough vocabulary, your communication with the material becomes clearer.
Glass understands your commands, and you understand what glass needs.
Some of the natural enemies like gravity become a necessary tool.
Everyday, you learn some new words that will take you to the next step.

| As my glass language improved, I found employment in several studios throughout the world (France, Bermuda, Usa),
Acquired different techniques from several artists, and developed my own line of glass reflecting years of mastering the art
After 8 years in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina (2005) was an eye opener. We discovered true friends,
and dismissed some of them that became transparent and greedy.
The storm gave us the opportunity to relocate in the Pacific Northwest where Lu Ann (my wife) was originally from.
Our studio is now located on the spectacular 18 miles beach in Westport ,WA.
where fire meets the ocean, and the winds provide the breath of creativity for Lu Ann and I.
