Marian Abath is trained as an educational scientist and started working with glass out of curiosity and to support Ciro in his activities. It became her passion! She took classes at The Glass furnace in Istanbul, Turkey and at Stipglas in the Netherlands. A couple of years ago she started giving workshops in her private studio, the first on Aruba. By now quite a large community of glass bead makers has been formed on Aruba. In her jewelry design she incorporates various kinds of glass, also discarded glass.
She learned the basics of glass blowing at Urban Glass in New York. Marian loves sharing her knowledge and experience in workshops, opening a new world to others as it was to her.
