International Experience

2018

From April 9 – May 31 of 2018 my love of glass led me to extend my education outside the university setting that I began my learning in.  I organized an independent glass tour to explore experiences and knowledge of the glass community far outside of what I had seen previously.  In that time two colleagues, Dante Germain, and Lynnette Bierbaum visited, worked, assisted and/or demonstrated at:

 

London Glassblowing – London, England

Gent Glas – Gent, Belgium

The Gerrit Rietveld Academie – Amsterdam, Netherlands

BerlinGlas – Berlin, Germany

Backhaus-Brown Studio at Glasmedjen, Hundested, Denmark

Glasmuseet Ebeltoft – Ebeltoft, Denmark

Pust Glasværksted, Ebeltoft, Denmark

Tobias Møhl & Trine Drivsholm Glas – Ebeltoft Denmark

Joe Coel Studios – Tørshavn, Faroe Islands
