MFA明矾热Netflix

作为一个年轻的玻璃艺术家, 布拉德•特纳 was familiar with Alfred University’s reputation as a top-notch educational institution for studio 艺术家s. That reputation was a big part of his coming to Alfred. "I knew a few other people who got their Master's degrees at Alfred. 我喜欢他们的作品.” Following graduating with his own Master's Degree in Fine 艺术, Brad's career took some interesting turns; most recently, becoming a finalist in season two of the hit Netflix series 被风吹走.

Alfred gave me the opportunity to branch out from glass. And I developed an appreciation for the physical context in which your work is placed.

Brad received his MFA from Alfred University’s School of 艺术 and 设计 in 2013 after two years of study, 不仅是吹制玻璃, but in additional studio arts that allowed him to expand his 艺术家ic range and giving him an edge in a competitive glass arts and glass sculpture industry. 从十几岁起就开始做工匠了, Brad has showcased his work around the globe, with pieces making their way into exhibits in South Korea, 加拿大, 丹麦, 比利时, 和美国.

是什么让你对玻璃艺术感兴趣的? A combination of creativity and physicality.

Glass remains Brad’s 艺术家ic medium of choice, and his skill as a glass 艺术家 was recently recognized by the producers of 被风吹走, the reality series on Netflix that pits ten professional glass blowing 艺术家s against each other in a ten-week competition. The winner receives a cash award of $60,000 and residency at the Corning Museum of Glass. 毫无疑问, his breadth of experience and education in glass sculpture and other dimensional art studies, and his innate talent for crafting original, 功能玻璃片, 为布拉德在比赛中赢得了一席之地.

玻璃花瓶

Brad resides in Toronto, 加拿大, just a short drive from Hamilton, where 被风吹走 was filmed in North America's largest hot shop. 在他的同龄人中, he's affectionately known as the "silent killer" of the hot shop, 但在一天结束的时候, 他是个工匠, 艺术家, and a stay-at-home dad to his young daughter, 佐伊.
