Biography

Originally trained in biochemistry, Cédric Ginart discovered an early passion for scientific glassblowing and decided to fully dedicate himself to the discipline. He completed formal training in scientific glass at Lycée Dorian in Paris, graduating in 1995. A year later, he moved to Quebec, where he has since built an exceptional career at the intersection of science and art.

Over the years, Cédric has collaborated with scientists, artists, industrial partners, designers, and architects on ambitious experimental projects. His work ranges from creating unique artworks and prototypes to limited-edition series and large-scale installations.

His works are regularly exhibited and are part of private and museum collections, notably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, and the glass museums of Lauscha in Germany, Murano in Italy, and Niijima in Japan. Together with his partner Karina Guévin, they travel the world to exhibit, teach, and share their passion for flameworking and glass art.

In parallel with his internationally recognized artistic practice, Cédric currently works as a scientific glassblower at the Montreal University. He regularly teaches at the Corning Museum of Glass, NY, and has been invited to teach at Pilchuck, WA, Penland, NC, the Pittsburgh Glass Center, PA; the Niijima Glass Museum (Japan); CERFAV in France; as well as in numerous other workshops around the world.
