Murrini
Thursday, April 20, 2023
Lucie Kovarova makes beautiful murrini, and also makes jewelry incorporating her murrini. We are pleased to welcome her to our Speakers Presentation series for April. For this presentation, Lucie plans to show us how she makes her wonderful murrini!
Lucie Kovarova-Weir was born in Boskovice, Czech Republic. Pursuing studies in animation; she graduated with a MAA Degree from the prestigious Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, in Prague. Fascinated by glass, she started flameworking in 2001 in Toronto and established the Lunacy Glass Studio in 2002. Lucie currently lives and works in Tweed, Ontario. She has been teaching lampworking since 2010, in her own studio and numerous studios across Canada and USA.
Creative process and form awareness are always at the forefront of Lucie’s work focus. The glass pieces she creates surprise viewers by the great attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship. Inspiration for her work comes from folk art and fairytales, her garden and her daily life in a small town. Coming from an animation background, she tells a story with a sense of humor and lightness of spirit.
