Gilles Payette first trained in sculpture at the I’Ecole de
sculpture de Saint-Jean-Port-Joli in 1970. He later
studied foundry art, working with cast bronze and
aluminum.
In 1990, Payette took training in glass pouring and kiln
casting in several different countries, including study at
the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle; apprenticeship
under Bertil Vallien at the New York Experimental Glass
Workshop; and apprenticeship under David Reekie at
Espace Verre, Montreal.
Since 1995, Payette has produced one-of-a-kind and
limited edition sculpture. His work is found in private
and public collections throughout Canada, the United
States and Europe.
