Since graduating, he has worked as a freelance glassmaker and designer from his studio in Stratford, East London.<\/p>\n Jochen\u2019s design approach is led by the making process and the flow of hot glass, navigating the possibilities and restrictions of the technique and material. He creates functional, tactile objects organically conceived drinking glasses, carafes, vases.<\/p>\n He has won a number of design prizes, including the RSA Award and Centre Prize, and was shortlisted for the Bombay Sapphire Glass Prize.<\/p>\nAbout the tumblers<\/h4>\n
