About Elio Raffaeli from Schiavonglass
Born in Venice on October 14th 1936, into a family living on Murano, he attended school on the island. At the age of fifteen, he went to work in the Seguso – Dalla Venezia furnace, where he met Piero Scaramal, his first Master, who taught him the elementary secrets of that magical art that makes Murano the world capital of glass.
He worked with Scaramal for seven years, rising through the established hierarchy from “garzone” to “primo servente”, developing as a person and as a skilled glassmaster. The setbacks at the Seguso-Dalla Venezia led him to move to another prestigious furnace, Salviati, where Raffaeli refined his skills and the many techniques he needed to make everything from delicate blown pieces to solid glass sculptures.
In 1966 he was hired by a newly-founded furnace, Briati, to lead his own “piazza”, and Elio officially became a Maestro. He was entrusted with the designs of renowned artist Flavio Poli, which he interpreted to perfection.
Finally, with his entire team and a group of other friends, he decided to take his destiny in his own hands.
He founded Ars Murano and in a short time burst onto the scene with his sculptures, which were soon sold around the world.

Jean-Marie Giguère Abstract Fish Art Glass Sculpture Circa 1999
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Beautiful abstract fish art glass sculpture is by Canadian glass artist, Jean-Marie Giguère. He uses the Graal technique to create layers in the glass. The is piece is translucent with 2 engraved green fish with orange interior that reflects on the translucent section to make a muted orange color on the translucent area. Inside the orange section is a blue section (that I believe represents water) which also reflects on the bottom of the piece. Signed and dated 1999.
From Espace Verre, Giguère’s has been working with the Graal technique.
"This process combines glassblowing and engraving within layers of glass, revealing a smooth
decorative pattern. He is inspired by everything, while appropriating each
element. "I have searched for the common denominators to all
humans, to use them as themes in my compositions: the body,
territory, family, home, ancestors, religion, temples, God, nature,
food, lovemaking, as well as symbols of identity," says Giguère.Jean-Marie Giguère
