About The Artwork
Specialising in the technique of lamp working, where hot glass is manipulated over an open flame, Jochen Holz is one of the very few glass artists practising this type of glass blowing in Britain. Holz’s design approach is guided by the process of making, and the skill of controlling the flow of hot glass and blowing two colours together. Each piece is free-blown in borosilicate – a heat resistant and durable glass.
About Jochen Holz
Jochen Holz is a London-based glass artist. Having initially trained in lampwork - a field of glasswork devoted to making scientific instruments - Holz’s choice to practise as an artist is radically creative. Pushing the boundaries of medium and material, Holz’s award-winning works are unique in their visual language and employment of craft techniques.
He has taught and exhibited widely, showing with institutions such as Wellcome Collection, London; Make Hauser & Wirth, Somerset; Kate MacGarry, London, and A Plus A Gallery, Venice.
