My name is Ivan Bestari Minar Pradipta, I’m from Yogyakarta city Indonesia, just call me Ivan. I’m starting to work with glass since 2011, just by coincidence because I met with one of the only one oldest scientific glassblower (74 years old) in my town (Pic of our early visit in 2011 www.facebook.com/media/set/?se…)

So I’m start experimenting using flameworking torch that build by the old scientific glassblower, I try to develop flameworking art by my own & youtube as reference. Using scrap glass material is a real challenge for me, until now I still try how much further I can push this material and my skills to make artwork with all this limitation.

Recycled glass flameworking became my style, became my way to express my mind and what I felt, how to transfer my imagination within process of metamorphic from waste into artwork in the burning flame.
