Christel is originally from Denmark. She grew up in Svaneke, on the beautiful island of Bornholm.
You’ll discover that a lot of her creations are directly inspired from this beautiful island, also called «The Pearl of the Baltic Sea»
An internship in an art school in Denmark allowed her to discover the magic of glass, an art that has since turned into a passion.
" Glass is a beautiful and fascinating material to work, with a wide range of possibilities. An extraordinary challenge. "
Christel Voirol is a self-taught glass artist. She designs and creates both useful and decorative glass objects, using the techniques called "fusing"&"slumping". In summary, the fusing is to assemble pieces of glass and bring them to melting temperature, about 800 ° C, in a special oven. To achieve the slumping, she use ceramic or steel molds to shape the objects.
Christel now shares a small atelier with her husband, the painter Thierry Voirol, in the old town of La Neuveville in Switzerland.
