Beyond our walls

From the earth comes glass

The textured, detailed structure of the molten glass is illuminated by the intense heat of the furnace.

In Amboise, deep within the earth, a troglodyte cave hides a furnace worthy of the underworld. Yet it does not emanate evil or diabolical creations, but rather beauty, purity, and the delicate fragility born from the expert hands of a glassblower. The Amboise art glass studio brings together material, fire, and imagination to produce pieces so hard yet so fragile that their sight never fails to captivate.

So why not witness the manufacturing process? See raw material transformed and mastered to become something unique. And why not try it yourself?

Whether for an introductory session, a visit, or a purchase, the choice is yours. Design your own piece during a workshop, or admire the vases, sculptures, and unique objects born from this rare expertise.

An inspiring, beautiful, and visual outing in the town of Amboise, which is a destination not to be missed in its own right.
