SMALL BADGER HAIR BLENDER BRUSHES

The badger-blender brush is a staple of painting tools, and we're now carrying a variety of smaller flat styles in addition to the traditional 3" badger brush. Badger hair brushes are indispensable for their unique ability to repel water, allowing blending and softening of the painted surface without absorbing any applied paint. Smaller brush sizes are excellent for tight areas and detailed work. They're at a great price point, too!

GLASSBLOWING COMES TO NETFLIX

NOW STREAMING ON NETFLIX!

   The Corning Museum of Glass is a proud collaborator on an exciting, new competition series, Blown Away. The 10-episode show, which will bring the art of glassblowing to a global audience through the Netflix streaming platform, launched July 12, 2019.

   The show follows a group of 10 highly skilled glass makers from North America who have a limited time to fabricate beautiful works of art that are assessed by a panel of expert judges. One artist is eliminated in each 30-minute episode until a winner is announced in the tenth and final episode. YouTube star Nick Uhas, best known for his popular science show Nickipedia, hosts Blown Away and renowned artist Katherine Gray serves as the “resident evaluator.”

  The winner of Blown Away is awarded the title of “Best in Blow” and a prize package valued at $60,000, which includes a week-long Guest Artist appearance at CMoG. The winner will complete two working sessions this summer, July 17-18 and August 28-29, in preparation for the “Blown Away Residency,” October 14-18. During these times, the winner will participate in glass making demonstrations for the public in CMoG’s Amphitheater Hot Shop.
