"Glass is a capricious material, it is unpredictable. There can be failures as well as successes. That's what I love about my job," explains Margot, a glassblower, in front of the 1000-degree flame of her blowtorch. For the past 3 years, the Bordeaux native has turned her passion into her profession in a workshop in the heart of the 17th district.
From Berlin to Paris
It all started in Berlin, at a workshop offering glassblowing classes right across from her home. "As soon as I came back from Germany, I immediately applied for a CAP (vocational training certificate) in this field," she says. She was able to learn the surgical aspect of the craft there.
The glass spins around the flame. Margot, focused, explains the process of her creations. "I prefer working with my hands, without tools. It's the opposite of what I was taught, but it works really well!" she explains with a smile.

A 60s-inspired style
Serving craftsmanship and her brand Ulysse Sauvage created 3 years ago, Margot draws inspiration from the round shapes of the 60s. She doesn't hesitate to deform them to create each piece in a unique way.
Paris gave her the opportunity to start: "I feel at home here, it was obvious for me to dive into a city where I thrive." The next step for the artisan is to move to a new workshop. An opportunity that inspires her to develop other models. "Glass is surprising, even I can't imagine all the wonders that can be done with it."
