Fall 2009
 La Curva Estudios
Brothers Einar and Jumex de la Torre work across cultures, international boundaries, and historical eras. As businessmen, they have adopted a nontraditional, decentralized studio model that allows them to work with glass without the overhead expense and the virtual leash that normally accompanies the maintenance of a hot glass shop. As they travel and teach, they blow glass wherever they can find a hot shop on the road and ship the glass parts to Mexico to wait for them until they can return and schedule a session to work on their elaborate constructions.
