Françoise Bolli
Designer verrier
Yverdon-les-Bains

« Glass attracts me not only for its enchanting capacity for transparency, but particularly for the plural potential of this substance. »

Fascinated by this material and its multiple aspects and qualities, Françoise Bolli creates monumental works related to architecture (stained glass, lights, sculptures, mobiles) and also objects. She regularly collaborates with architects and teaches her know-how in art schools. In addition, she participates in numerous exhibitions, personal and collective.

« In my work, I seek to honor the glass. I try to play with the limits of its properties while respecting them. »

The techniques used by Françoise Bolli to work with glass are numerous: engraving, painting, molding, imprinting or bending, she gives her works a particular color, fragility and depth. Through subtle games of transparency and reflection of light, his creations play with shadows which sometimes become the only visible trace of the work.
