The third season of Netflix’s Blown Away will start on Friday, July 22, 2022.
The first ever glass-blowing reality TV show will again have 10 contestants compete for a cash prize of $60,000 and a spot at an artist’s residency at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.
Each week, host Nick Uhas and resident judge Katherine Gray will come up with a theme, and the contestants will have to make unique designs out of glass. At the end of each week, a glass artist will be eliminated.
Brenna Baker, the founder and director of Hollywood Hot Glass, is one of the 10 contestants on season 3 of Blown Away. She has been a glass artist since she was 14 years old. But when she was 3 years old, she became interested in glass.
Brenna Baker from season 3 of Blown Away has shown her work all over the world.
The Blown Away contestant took a class at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, to learn how to blow glass. This is where she learned the basics of the technical and artistic skills needed to make glass art that is both useful and beautiful. In Murano, Italy, she worked as an apprentice for one of the best glass sculptors in the world, Pino Signoretto, for a year.
The Blown Away glass artist went all over the world to show off her skills and the art of blowing glass. She did this on Celebrity Solstice class ships, along with the Hot Glass Show at the Corning Museum of Glass.
She spent the next few years learning from some of the best glass artists in the United States while also getting a degree in business.
She was then hired by Steuben Glass as the second woman and youngest Master Gaffer (a person who blows glass).
Steuben Glass is an American brand of high-quality glass and crystal that was started in 1903 by Federick Carder, a well-known glass master. In 1918, the brand was bought by Corning Class Works and changed its name to Corning Incorporated.
The Blown Away contestant also learned a lot from teaching classes at New York’s The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass.
The Hollywood Hot Glass by Brenna Baker
In June 2013, the Blown Away contestant took her first steps toward her dream of becoming an independent glass artist and opening her own studio in South Florida. She had worked in the glass industry for 16 years.
They started out by offering live demonstrations on Groupon. However, over the years, the studio has become so popular that it is usually full. Local news stations, especially National Geographic, have given the studio a lot of attention, which has helped move things along.
For Baker, the best part is being able to show the world how much she loves blowing glass. She told Parkbench in an interview:
