The premise is simple: a group of glass-blowing artists come together in an enormous studio, or hot shop in glass-blowing parlance, and create glass art for specific challenges.
July 22, with new artists, judges and challenges. The series, produced by Toronto’s Marblemedia, found fans on Netflix during the pandemic. Much like a glass art version of ‘Project Runway” or “Top Chef,” the drama comes from the time constraints and challenges, and also from the fact that these artists are molding fragile glass and working with temperatures that soar between 1600 and 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
They thought the glass-blowing competition might work for Netflix. “Even though it is niche, they have such a wide reach that it would still find an audience. And yeah, we were delighted that it’s had the critical and audience success that it has had,” he says.Luke started looking around for experts and consultants, and came upon globally renowned glass artist Koen Vanderstukken, who also happened to be a professor at nearly Sheridan College.
“Nick was perfect in that because he’s a scientist. That’s his background. So he can ask very specific questions. But if he was from this glass world, then it would be too insider baseball. But he’s asking those sort of generic broad questions that the audience at home are asking as well, like, ‘Oh, what is that? How do you do that?’”
