Blue Glass Talosel Artistic Mirror by Atelier Vautrin

Blue glass and talosel artistic mirror by Atelier Vautrin. France: circa 1970 . Line Vautrin opened an art school to pass on her know-how, at 29 quai des Grands Augustins in Paris. The artist calls on his best worker for many years, Thérèse Patchayan, as well as her daughter Marie-Laure, who will teach her mother's know-how in France and around the world. Line Vautrin teaches the cutting of talosel plates, pattern cutting, modeling, gluing, coating, and hot inlays of all kinds. The objects were of all shapes, the mirrors, oxidized, sometimes crackled. Line Vautrin has always claimed to be an artisan, and teaches both peers established in the profession, keen to improve their techniques, and young aspiring artists wishing to learn from this important creator. Never interrupting her research on shapes and materials, she patented a process: “pellimorphoses”. This technique was later defined as “expansions of coloured plastics caught between two transparent surfaces”. This synthetic material was encrusted with small pieces of coloured mirrors.
