Innovations in glass

  • • Márta has devised two unique, labour-intensive glass processes
  • • She teaches and exhibits in Europe and the US
  • • She often draws her inspiration from memories

As a child of engineering parents, Márta Edőcs wanted to be a fashion designer. But a glass exhibition that she visited in Germany, at the age of 20, had such an effect on her that on her way home to Hungary she began to learn about glass making. Soon she started designing glass – in a self-taught way – and polished her knowledge further on courses abroad. Today, she is one of the most renowned Hungarian glass artists, who creates mainly jewellery as well as decorative panels – both by using very unusual techniques. Such is her success that she is recognised in the Studio of the world’s most important glass museum: the Corning Museum of Glass, in State New York, where she has been invited to give courses and teach her techniques. She sometimes also teaches in Sopron, Vienna and Budapest.
