OFFRANDE · 2026

This is the documentation of our studio in motion. Here we reveal the inner workings, the molds, the misfires, the material studies, the possibilities behind each piece. Because the underbelly is worth showing, and worth discussing. We continue a practice begun centuries ago, refining old techniques and creating our own. Lately this process has carried us into bas relief wall installations and plaques, all sculpted by hand, cast in glass, and illuminated from within. Much of what these pages record, the sketches, the clay, the firings, is their becoming. What takes shape is written here as it happens.

marceau panel
Category: Catalog
Date: 09-15-2026
A square of cast glass worked into a relief that reads like growth underwater. Tendrils thin to almost nothing, then thicken into real weight, with no sign of which way is up or whether the forms are rising or settling. The Marceau panel holds in that suspension, its green running deep at the base and letting the light through at the top. Made by hand in clay, cast in fire, cooled over days into a stillness that still looks like motion.










marceau no. 4

Category: Catalog
Date: 09-14-2026
We cast the Marceau from a single undulating line and let the kiln decide the rest, so the same form comes back clear and nearly weightless one firing and near-black to amber the next, color carried through the body of the glass rather than laid on top, never the same piece twice.










L’HEURE DESSERT PLATE
Category: Catalog
Date: 09-01-2026
An altar, set daily, for the ceremony of the meal. The act of eating, kept as rite.










marceau half octagon
Category: Catalog
Date: 09-01-2026
Whisper-thin at the tips, heavy and rooted at the base. Undergrowth cast in glass, delicate and dense at once, with air suspended in the pour like breath held underwater. Small accidents of the casting, kept, because they belong.










color theory and the marceau medallion
Category: Catalog
Date: 08-11-2026
One form, cast again and again across a shifting palette. The medallion holds still, its scrolled relief pressed from a single mold, while the color moves through it experiment by experiment. What we are testing is not the shape but the glass itself: how a frit read one way in the jar becomes something else entirely once the kiln has had it.

Color here is never applied to the surface. It is packed into the body as crushed glass and revealed only by the fire. This is the palette study behind the piece, laid out in full.










marceau no. 1
Category: Catalog
Date: 06-09-2026
We started with the overlooked — the obsessive marine studies of the Blaschkas — and reverse-engineered their discipline into original an original category. Where they sought the exact, we introduced the brute: a heavy, deliberate obtuseness pressed into the form until precision and force held each other in balance. Iteration is the philosophy, not a phase. What you see is the study that survived, each iteration sharpens the odds...




THE JOURNAL



glass texture experiments

CATEGORY: PROCESS
DATE: 09-14-2026


Two squares poured from the same clear glass, and yet they behave nothing alike. One gathers the light into a field of small points; the other lets it run in long, slow swells. We set them side by side to see what the surface alone could change.

Art Deco Personal Objects
CATEGORY: PROCESS
DATE: 07-27-2026

Three objects, built within five years of each other, share a habit worth stopping for: none of them are quite what they first show you. A clock built from the shape of a writing screen. A vanity case whose ornament borrows an entire vocabulary rather than a single flourish. A garden, rendered in stone and shell, that opens on a hidden hinge to release a photograph no one advertised it held. Two Paris houses, one instinct — and we're showing all of it.
