Inspired by the Venetian tradition of cane working, Alain was eager to transpose it into his artistic practice. He creates a specific
“flamework writing” using traditional cane work. He then began to make complex reworked lampwork canes prior to the blowing process. The result is an infinite range of new patterns that can be created using a single traditional cane as a base.

Alain Villechange (France, 1975) is a flameworker. He started his apprenticeship in 1993 learning a large range of flamework
techniques in France, Germany and USA. In 2005 he opened his own glassstudio. Since 2009 he has been living and working with
Laurence Brabant, designing and flameworking glassware.
