1999 created glass technique GRAVERRE
Bellow is the excerpt from "Czech and Slovak Glass in Exile" catalogue 2007 by PhDr. Sylva Petrová
.... It has nothing to do with the German glass term ‘gravur’ or the English ‘gravure’ (engraving), as it is related to a mixture of other English and French words. The term is created from the part ‘Gra’ which stands for ‘Graphite’ and ‘verre’ which means ‘glass’ in French. The essence of this method is quite simple. The graphite or charcoal drawing is fused between layers of the glass sheets. The technique is ideal for capturing the spontaneity of drawing.
