Glass

GUAXS glass is being produced in small, exclusive factories which are specialized in producing small editions for international artists and designer. The workers usually function as a team. In order to be successful, the teams need a high degree of skill, coordination and force.

After a metal form has been prepared in different steps, the process of blowing the glass can begin. To start the process, each worker uses a blow pipe to collect the amount of glass – depending on the size of the object - out of a pot. Further preparatory steps follow before the glassblower blows the hot glass into a metal form. Due to the sophisticated and typical forms GUAXS is known for this can only be performed by skilled craftsmen.

When the work piece has gradually cooled down after a couple of days, the different phases of polishing follow. In several complex and meticulous steps the glass surface   is polished by hand. The object thus gets its individual structure and its distinctive/unique GUAXS character. Every single form is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
