• Meritxell and Joaquim work with glass in a self-developed technique
• Their pieces are halfway between stained glass and mosaics
• They have participated in several important festivals

Meritxell Templeque and Joaquim Falcó Capdevila met at the Escola del Vidre in Barcelona in 1992. There they began to use certain traditional techniques: blowing, stained glass making, carving, engraving, grisaille, and fired enamels, among others. "We began incorporating new techniques such as fusing, casting, thermoforming, pâte de verre. We focused our interest on sculpture in fused glass techniques and cold working. In 1995-96, we did an internship together in the Czech Republic, where we deepened our knowledge in these techniques," says Meritxell. "Observing our environment fascinates us, both the natural landscape and the human one, its forms, processes, rhythms, textures at different scales. We like to establish parallels between these natural processes such as erosion or sedimentation and the work processes with which we shape glass," explains Joaquim. The duo are a couple in life as well as in their practice as glass artists.
