One of the most important – and still relevant – exchanges that occurred during the Conquest period was the technology of glass. Expert Mexican hands, combined with foreign knowledge, resulted in high-quality pieces like those produced today by Nouvel Limited, a collaborator in our blown glass production.
Glass needs to be melted at over 1600 °C and then hand-blown into molds made of steel or volcanic stone, materials that can withstand such temperatures. This results in glass pieces that replicate the shapes and textures of other materials.
There are many variants to explore with this raw material: thicknesses, shapes, textures, colors, and finishes. At EWE Studio, we are interested in experimenting with different processes to discover the new limits to which glass can be pushed.
