![]() ![]() Bethany teaching a student during one of her glassmaking workshops This is where their workshops come in, which are now available to book here on Obby! In the setting of the new BlowFish studio in Stourbridge (opening in early 2022), Bethany and Elliot will offer their insights, expertise and skills to those who want to learn the historical craft. When it comes to BlowFish Glass, Bethany aims not only for it to be an " ambassador for artists and their work" where they can showcase their original artwork, but also where others can embrace the art of glass-blowing for themselves. Check out the trailer for Netflix's Blown Away, starring Elliot, above! The pandemic meant the show's airing was delayed until the beginning of 2021 - with Elliot having to keep his involvement, and eventual win, a secret the entire time! The show's success has seen an increase in public interest in the unusual craft, with people looking to try their hand at glassblowing for themselves. Elliot's season of Blown Away was filmed in the winter of 2019 in Canada, just before COVID struck. It was Bethany who pushed Elliot to apply for Blown Away, which became a surprise hit amongst audiences during the lockdown(s) of the last 18 months. Having now been making glass for 7 years, Bethany has worked with many renowned glassmakers all over England and produces her own glass pieces which she sells in various galleries such as the Vessel Gallery, and the London Glassblowing Gallery, and of course on her own online gallery. An impressive artist in her own right, Bethany graduated from De Montfort University in 2014 with a degree in Design and a specialism in glass making. BlowFish Glass was established by Elliot's creative partner and fellow glass maker Bethany Wood (seen with Walker above). ![]()
