Glassworks Matteo Gonet
This exhibition presents a series of new pieces by glassmaker Matteo Gonet who, after training at the Technical School of Glass in Zwiesel, Germany, travelled around Europe as a journeyman in search of glassmaking expertise. Each destination was an opportunity to expand his knowledge and adopt new techniques.
