Verena Schatz sees herself as an artist and glassmaker. She operates at the intersections of art, craft and design, from interactive installations to sculptures and functional designs. “There are a multitude of aspects that appeal to me when dealing with this extremely versatile material,” Schatz says. “The greatest fascination still is the liquid and malleable state of glass, which often remains formally present in many of my works, despite the physical rigidity.” Verena trained in classic glass processing techniques. She worked as a glass technician before she began favouring the material as a creative and expressive medium. Her passion resulted in long-term study and periods of work in the US, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland.
