“To me, it’s almost a political act to occupy the hot shop as a fierce female glassblower,” she says in Blown Away. It challenges gender stereotypes within the traditional glassblowing landscape. Her pièce de résistance was an installation for the finale: a feminist take on breakfast, including a fecund fried egg and a chain of sausage links.” Meat Me in The Middle, an installation with a sunny-side-up egg at the center represents women taking the art world by storm and a nod towards equity in fine arts.Ĭzeresko’s work originates from personal experience influenced by the complexities of modern day political and social ideas. Asked to make botanicals, she procured a set of oddly poetic potatoes summoned to imagine a futuristic robotic device, she fashioned the Man-Bun in the Oven, an external womb for men to wear to gestate and during a food challenge, she managed to make tacos appear über-elegant through a set of Venetian-style dishes. And while some contestants in the show’s first season crumbled under challenges that required conceptual depth, Czeresko thrived. Wrote Casey Lesser on Artsy: “In a similar vein to Project Runway or Top Chef, Blown Away gathers glass artists to compete in creating innovative artworks. On the first episode of the Netflix glassblowing series Blown Away, Deborah Czeresko introduced herself as having “a polarizing personality I have lovers, and I have haters.” Winner of the competition, the New York based, 58-year-old, queer female artist with 30 years of glass experience was awarded $60,000 and a two-week residency at the Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG). ![]() Glass Artists of Colorado and the Morgan Adams Projectĭeborah Czeresko: The Winner of Blown Away. ![]() CMOG’s 10 Ways to Digitally Experience Glass.LaceFace and Southern Oregon Glass Community Relief.Their custom design projects have ranged from lighting to corporate gifts and awards and they have often travelled throughout North America for their clients to carry out site-specific installations. ![]() they were recognised as “glass artists that helped shape a generation of glass artists” in 2016 during the opening night talk, “Generations in Glass”, at the Chihuly exhibit, Royal Ontario Museum.the “Skilled Trade Award of Excellence” from the Wellington Chamber of Commerce in 2012.“Best in Show” at the 2007 Elora “Art in the Yard” festival.“Best in Show”, “Collectors Choice Award”, “Award of Excellence”, “Purchase Award”, “Jury Award”, and “Honorable Mention” at art festivals throughout New York, Michigan, Illinois, Florida and Connecticut.Together, they have won numerous awards for Excellence in Craftsmanship and Design, both locally and internationally, for example: They provide private and group instruction on the fine art of glassblowing and many of their students have become prominent in the glass industry.
