CREADORES ARTESANOS

Joseph of Jesus, Artisan creator of blown glass

Blown glass is a complex artisanal technique that allows for the creation of pieces of multiple shapes and colors sculpted from molten glass.

Despite its complexity, it allows creativity to be unleashed, creating authentic pieces of art.

This is how Jesus creates a world of fantasies in his daily life, which he captures in his pieces.

"In the future, I want people to say not 'he's a glassmaker', but 'he's an artist'."

Joseph of Jesus

así elabora las piezas

Lo que empezó siendo un juego de niña, es lo que ahora le da de comer.

The first thing Jesus does is put the glass in the fire, so that it heats up and he can then work on it in his own way.

Once the glass has tempered, it is removed from the heat by holding it with a long rod, where it is then rotated on its axis so that it cools to the appropriate temperature for molding.

Once this temperature is reached, Jesus blows on the end of the rod,
which makes the glass ready to be shaped.

Using tweezers, pincers and other tools, Jesús shapes his piece until it is 100% cool.
