As far as I can gather this is something to do with colouring glass, but I don't know what it is called in English.

lampworker
if you check out the sites in French and English, I think you'll find that this is the corresponding term
After designing a piece, a lampworker must carefully plan how to construct it. Once ready to begin, the lampworker slowly introduces glass rod or tubing into the flame to prevent cracking from thermal shock. The glass is heated until molten, wound around a specially-coated steel mandrel, forming the base bead. It can then be embellished or decorated using a variety of techniques and materials. All parts of the workpiece must be kept at similar temperatures lest they can shatter. Once finished the piece must be annealed in an oven to prevent cracking or shattering.

Glass Drawer
Someone or a machine that draws out molten glass into thread/ rod/ columns etc? Given that fil is a thread - would this work in the context?

In this context I'd agree with Nadia - spun glass, glass spinner etc.
