BLOWN AWAY ELLIOT WALKER SERIES

Please note that the artist and gaffers will take lunch breaks each day, so times may vary. See Elliot Walker in the Amphitheater Hot Shop Wednesday, April 13–Friday, April 15 and again on Sunday, April 17–Tuesday, April 19, 10 am–4 pm. While at the Museum, don’t miss one of Elliot’s objects, Spilt Milk, on display in the Museum’s Blown Away: Season 2 display on the West Bridge. Elliot first worked with the Corning team to realize this vision in front of the cameras, and now will team up with them once again for the Residency. Those who saw Elliot’s victory in Season 2 will remember his thought-provoking, self-reflective installation Bodge Job, which told a behind-the-scenes story about what goes through the mind of an artist preparing for an installation of their work.

He urges those who view his work to surrender to its ambiguity and surrealism. A talented visual storyteller, Elliots work as a British sculptor and glassblower earned him a place on the second season of the Netflix series, Blown Away. He went back to school for glassmaking and design, and today calls himself a “dedicated experimenter” who constantly challenges preconceptions of glass. Walker is a UK-based artist who started working with glass while earning his psychology degree. Join us for the highly anticipated Blown Away Residency when winner, Elliot Walker, gets to take advantage of his prize and collaborate with the Museum’s team. When Season 2 was released in January 2021, no one could have predicted the Blown Away Residency would be delayed for more than a year due to COVID. It’s a chance to explore new ideas in glass an opportunity to work with our team of talented artists to realize nearly any vision the winner wants to pursue.
