French-American, Parisian-born and raised in West Africa, Wintrebert’s practice is rooted in centuries-old glassblowing techniques. Self-taught, Wintrebert mastered his skill by traveling, working and learning in studios and production shops around the world including in California, Florida, Washington, Murano Italy, and Czech Republic. Embracing the rigor of handcrafted production, he creates pieces that celebrate the organic movement and unpredictability of the medium. Each work is shaped by a deep respect for materiality and process, resulting in lighting and objects that exude warmth, texture, and a sense of quiet poetry. His commitment to preserving artisanal craft while pushing creative boundaries has positioned his studio as a leader in contemporary glass design.
