René Burri Glass Chickens
From his glass studio in the in the Swiss Alps, René Burri works
together with his wife and several apprentices to create his whimsical
line of glass chickens and other animals. René uses a glass technique
know as "Lampwork" to handblow each piece. He starts with a hollow
tube of clear glass. Colored pigment is brushed onto the glass to
create the beautiful color striations and marbling effects. The tube is
then heated before a gas torch and René blows and forms the desired
object by hand creating a truly unique gift.
