I also work in a ‘male-heavy’ profession, but never felt like I had to get aggressively on a high horse about it. [2], California State University, San Bernardino, "Blown away by Blown Away? Second place should have won! We connected to what she was trying to do more than any other artist, by far. Just continue to be the version of you. Really felt the winner of the show only won because she was a women. I completely disagree. To be fair, other contestants tried the same thing in earlier episodes, pushing the environmental hot button to gain green points, while being completely oblivious to the fact that glass blowing creates toxic fumes and is very energy intensive for an artistic medium. Being female IS NOT a disability. The amount of fossil fuels and energy needed to keep the heat at those levels could probably heat multiple homes for a year or more. Has the fiery cast of amazing glassblowers inspired you to see glass He moved from the UK to Seattle in his teens to study under the arm of Dale Chihuly–who is also a world-famous glass sculptor. Seeing its affiliation with the Corning Museum of Glass helped me realize that this is an incredibly unique opportunity to become a face of the glass community, to the general public, and on an international scale.” Momoko Schafer (aka Momo) – Boston, Massachusetts, “It has been a fantastic opportunity for me to reconnect with the amazingly creative and supportive glass community while being given the platform to espouse the importance and complexity of a normally overlooked material.” Annette Sheppard – San Francisco, CA, “Being involved with Blown Away has connected me with a number of outstanding artists, presenting even more opportunities for my future.” Edgar Valentine – Tacoma, Washington, “Watching an amorphous molten blob of glass turn into a myriad of exquisite forms instigated through the various challenges is an excellent introduction to glass as an artistic medium.

Over the weekend Netflix released a reality competition show called Blown Away where 10 contestants duke it out using the art of glassblowing. He even discussed how being on the show caused him so much stress that he had to confide in her constantly: “I was in tears on the phone with my wife because the stresses built up. New York-based artist Deborah Czeresko has a foot in two glass camps. Janusz was clearly the most talented glassblower on the show. have, too. I figured him for the easy win vs Deborah, but he let his political statement dive his artwork instead of the other way around. Thanks for this wonderful show. With this reinforcement, I think it was a wonderful and enjoyable exposure to this medium. Deborah was by far more creative than Janusz, who is a superb technician but seems to lack the abundant imagination and creativity that Deborah has. I felt that Alex had pieces that were very technical in design, but he lost sure to the fact he didn’t meet the brief. Deborah is a wonderful artist, but it was clear to me that the “feminist card” was played throughout much of the judging. I hope that if there is another season of the show that they pick some one who truly deserved to receive the prize. Totally a bummer and probably won’t watch the show again. The winner receives a $60,000 prize and an artist residency at the Corning Museum of Glass. [4][5], The contestants on the show comprise 10 glassblowers. Deborah certainly has talent, but her hyper-feminism interfered with her art. It’s unnecessary and unkind. But fans of the series might be curious about who the glassblower is beyond the confines of the series. Any chance that this could be a traveling show? As a woman I think Yay for us, but as a glass art lover, I preferred his piece. The less the oponents, the better …as you give more space and visibility to the glass but I’m still disapointed : the glass, the blowing, the technic… should be given more time. HE NEEDS TO BE TEACHING PEOPLE THERE! Upon the very first episode, we all huddled around the TV and marathon-ed through the entire series. It was either luck that they chose not to send anyone home or that they decided he was too good to send off. Deborah Czeresko shouldn’t have won that at all! broader global awareness of this material they all love, and what it means for But it isn’t just about technique it is about how you play the game, competition, the audience, and when your opponent falters. I will not be watching any more seasons either. And from a logistics standpoint. artists who make a living working in glass. In addition, Pozniak was already known around the world for his work giving lessons, and mentoring others in the field. I think people often confuse realty shows like this with an actual technical competition. According to his website, Pozniak has actually been involved with glass blowing for three decades, starting at the age of 19. I actually binge watched the entire season only to be massively let down at the end. I have been fascinated with glass since I was a child and have been to CMOG several times. The judges were more impressed with Janusz’ and Alex’ display but again the political correctness was the motive! Creativity comes from the soul and is very personal to each artist; the mere act of displaying for the world is an acccomplishment in itself. I hope it helps perpetuate that knowledge to the next generations and get everyone stoked on glass. contestants what being involved with Blown Personally, I think people were led by the judge commentaries into the idea that she is the better ‘creative artist’ when compared to Janusz’s technical proficiency. Would recommend a judging team that truly understands glass blowing, technique and the creative process. [8], Blown Away received a positive review from Joel Keller of Decider who compared it to Top Chef and The Great British Bake Off. Works in decorative, functional, figurative or abstract glass reflect the highest level of hot glass expertise. Congratulations Deborah! His was a distinctly creative idea that became a beautiful work of art! I was amazed when hanging meat, something she has done before in a chandelier, gave her the win when I KNEW from the beginning that the winner was going to be Janusz Poźniak! Hey, I am just calling it as the Editor’s of the show made me see it. Just watched Season 1, Episode 8 and feel surprisingly compelled to say that PATRICK SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SENT HOME THIS ROUND! The show was compromised by so much “men bad”/ “women good” cliches. It represented a chance to promote my work to a wider, less niched, public.” Patrick Primeau – Montreal, Quebec, Canada, “My decision to compete on Blown Away was driven by desperation but resulted in a thoroughly enjoyable experience. That’s 3+ hours of my life I will never get back but after that, I am definitely not going to watch any more seasons (if there are any more coming) in the future! I didn’t agree with the judges. The series is filmed in Canada[2] and is produced by Marblemedia. “I was ready for an adventure related to my work because I have been shifting away from design-oriented projects toward art endeavors. I look forward to seeing more of her glass work. Janusz is technically superior to Debra BUT they were looking for someone who was inspiring, had feeling in their work also who evoked feeling and controversy. Judges blew this one. Predictable, but still disappointing – had hoped for something better considering the caliber of the show. However! I believe that the way the series ended with Blown Away was terrible. Even before the show made a splash on Netflix, fans of his artwork knew of him from YouTube. On attitude, neither should have won, they were both equally arrogant and very full of themselves On skill, the dude won, on creativity, the chick won, I think it ultimately went to the Corning guy to make the final decision and it is him that has to work with this person, so he went with creative, not really one better than the other thing, just a decision based on “Artist in Residence” criteria. Do not think this person “Deborah “ should have won. This is a wonderful art focused reality show! Think Project Runway when it comes to qualified, informed judging. This was a fantastic series and I’d love to see some of them in person. They could both be very nice people, who knows. Very happy for the winner! [7] The first season was filmed in a facility that was "custom-built to accommodate 10 glass blowers working simultaneously". I don’t know any of them but from what I saw, Janusz doesn’t need to be “studying” at The Corning Museum! I’m sure nobody would have been bored seeing more glass moves and life. Janusz should have won. Hope next season is more glass and less grievance politics.
