A group of glasscraft associations and companies have decided to convey throughout Europe the spirit of the French Compagnons, the highest order of the craftsmen's guild.
In the scope of the Leonardo da Vinci Programme the CERFAV has been the pioneer in creating the Compagnon Verrier Européen’s degree, a chartered programme of unmatched excellence and innovation in perfect harmony with the glass tradition.
The aim is to help students become professionally autonomous by preparing them for their exams or by enabling them to set up their own glass studios.

Glass training : Short courses
These glass courses, taught by artists, are aimed at giving students an overview of the creative field using the latest research in glass. Students are introduced to glass in an original way and are given access to a network of glass enthusiasts. Any creative approach to glass must be accompanied by a high level of technology and depending on the courses followed, students can be given an introduction into the basic glass techniques.
In these glass courses, students are provided with high quality glass training, and to guarantee a coherent progression the programme is precisely structured and delivered over several days. Creativity and autonomy are required of students, who will be taught by a dedicated team of experienced professionals, craftsmen and teachers ready to share their traditional hand skills, their glass techniques and their artistic sensibilities.
