Description
Since 1982 Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg have been world renowned glass artisans. Over forty years their work has developed its own distinctive signature. Based in Italian cold-working "battuto" techniques. Combined with the Swedish overlay process. Considered pioneers they have distinctively adapted these techniques to create works that embody color, light, texture, pattern, and form. They have also partnered to create works for Rosenthal Germany, Steuben USA, and Venini Venice. Their work is in the permanent collections of over forty museums world wide. In addition they have staged several major installations and exhibitions in public spaces across the job.
