Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert

Born in Paris in 1980 and raised in Western Africa, Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert is a French-American glass artist. After honing his skills in workshops across the US and Europe, he established "JMW Studio" in 2015 in Paris’s 12th arrondissement, within the Viaduc des Arts. Specializing in free-blown glass, he produces large-scale light sculptures and installations. Viewing glass as a “language of light,” he pursues themes of creation, transmission, and dialogue with the city.

Childhood in Africa & the Path to Glass

Wintrebert’s encounter with craftsmanship traces back to his early childhood in remote Western Africa. Living without electricity, telephones, or even shops, all essential furniture and daily items were made by local artisans.
“Everything we needed—furniture, tools—was made with someone’s hands. My parents had a deep respect for artisans, and handcrafts were indispensable in our daily life,” he recalls.
Unable to attend school, young Wintrebert began working in artisans’ workshops from an early age. This experience naturally led him into the world of handcrafts.
“My meeting with glass was a bit more mysterious. I’d been exposed to various materials like wood and ceramics, but glass alone remained a mystery to me, and I didn’t understand how it was made. Still, I had an instinctive sense telling me that ‘this is something liquid, something that can be melted.’”
