Join us in the hotshop for a special guest artist demonstration by guest artist Rob Stern. Celebrating the 35th year of Seattle Glassblowing Studio.
Artist Bio: Based in Miami, FL, Rob Stern started working with glass in 1990. He studied at San Francisco State University (BFA) and then University of Miami (MFA) alongside sessions at Pilchuck Glass School and Penland School.
Artist Statement
My aesthetic resides at the crossroads where humans and nature intersect. Between organic and angular, a space, which connects the temporary man-made to the pre-existing and eternal cosmos. Here we begin to measure our perspective and contemplate the perception of our place in the world as it is one that is always changing with the evolution of space, light, and time. I venture to capture moments with materials that speak to a fleeting sensibility of the permanence or importance of this balancing act. My works act as a communicative device which seek to connect my thoughts and my actions to the collective human consciousness. A path seeking insight and enlightenment which carries me forwards and always seems to bring me back to the glass.
