Charlie Larouche-Potvin is a 22-year-old glassblower from Montreal. He started glassblowing in 2017 and finished his three-year college program at Espace Verre. Charlie was a member of the Fusion program at Espace Verre from 2020-2022. He had the chance to take classes with some renowned glass blowers at the Corning Museum of Glass as well as taking maestro Davide Fuin's class, in Murano, two times where he fell in love with the traditional Venetian glassblowing process. With the knowledge Charlie gained from these formations, he was able to be a finalist for the Prix François-Houdé 2021-2022 and the RBC Award for Glass 2022.
Charlie's work is mainly focused on goblets. He finds in the technical aspect of their fabrication, the teamwork required in their manufacturing, the knowledge of the material required in their making, and the rich cultural background they possess a way to grow as a maker and also as a person. Mostly inspired by work from Venetian masters of the 19th and 20th centuries, he strives to stay authentic to the techniques he was shown in Murano while bringing his own touch to this kind of work.
