Info
Hello, I’m Marc. I work with glass and ceramics, moving between craft and industrial manufacturing. Before studying design, I trained as a ceramicist. Practical work in the workshop is still an important part of my practice.
My focus lies on researching and translating historical, often regional production methods such as forest glass or glass painting. I examine how these techniques worked, reconstruct them in practice and develop new objects from them. I regard design and research as equal parts of my work. The historical reference often shapes both the material and the use of an object.
Alongside my own projects, I work with designers and producers on prototypes, technical questions and material research, and I teach glass and ceramic techniques.
