Estudio Ciento2 are dedicated to hot glass techniques, located in Seville, Spain. We create archaeological replicas of glass products and pieces inspired by their originals. For this we apply the artesanal glass techniques that have been in use for milennia; including sculpting, blown glass, core formed glass and flame working, amongst others. Our work forms two different series: ‘Mediterranean World’, dedicated to pre-Roman glass, and ‘Excavation’ which recreates ancient techniques of Roman glass blowing. In these series you will find core formed vessels,
Phoenician masks, an array of authentic historical beads and necklaces, and blown glass and jewelry with the finish of pieces that have remained buried for centuries.
