![]() ![]() I was able to put myself in the burning hot shop, feel the stress of cutting the glass of just right, and imagine the physical labor required to handle all of the material. ![]() Although I knew glass blowing was an intense process, this show really gave me perspective on just how intense. Each of the five artists are insanely talented, and it was so interesting getting to see the process of glass blowing. Each episode has a different challenge for the artists, such as depicting a holiday dinner and creating a set of cohesive ornaments for a bare tree. The show sees five returning contestants getting a second shot in the hot room. Plus, it consists of four 30 minute episodes, so it was easy to binge in one night! While I haven’t watched the two regular seasons yet, I was very excited to get into the holiday spirit with this short season. It has two seasons, from 20, and just recently released its four episode Christmas season. So, when I was scrolling through Netflix with my roommates a few weeks ago and saw an ad for Blown Away: Christmas, I knew I had to watch it.īlown Away is a glass blowing competition on Netflix. My mom has a bunch of glass works that have been passed down to her, so I grew up inspired by them. This is likely attributed to my mom’s great great grandfather being John Dannenhoffer of Dannenhoffer Glass Works in Brooklyn, NY. However, I’ve always been particularly drawn to glass blowing. One of my favorite classes I have ever taken was a stained glass course. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by using glass in art.
