What a team!
Karina
and Cédric often teach flamework together at international schools. Cédric has
the quiet concentration you might expect of a scientific glassblower, while
Karina has a riotous sense of humour and delights in small animals! Put the two
together and the results are spectacular! Their modern-day versions of
traditional Venetian-style goblets must be seen to be believed and, of course, you can
do just that at the 2019 Festival of Glass.
