Christian Thirion
Susan Benjamin Glass Etc. is proud to present the work of
Christian Thirion. Trained as a pastry chef in his native France,
Christian traveled to Venice and Barcelona where he marveled
at the sight of individuals gathering, blowing and shaping hot,
glowing glass. In 1979 he moved to the United States to teach
pastry. Yet, he never forgot about glass. Finally, in 1987, he
enrolled in a glass-blowing course at a community college. He
had found his calling. Thirion left pastry to pursue glass blowing
full-time.
The fluidity of his shapes, his innovative use of colors and
textures, combines with this varied motifs define Christian
Thirion's personal style. An award-winning glass blower, he
exhibits his work in over one hundred art galleries, as well as
public and private collections throughout the United States,
Japan and Europe.
