Location: Eastport, Maine
About the Artist:
Coastal Maine artist Konrad Hunter has been working with hot glass since attending Penland School of Craft in 2000. Konrad spent several years perfecting his craft before moving to Northern California where he worked as an assistant glass caster. He now lives in his home state of Maine working as an independent artist.
“When I work, I turn out the lights. The glass glows an orange or red when it is hot. Besides being beautiful, it is a great indicator of glass temperature. This in turn informs me on the right moment to make a move. Timing is everything but after the first hour or so it all flows into one long dance. There is a natural elegance to the entire process.”
When not glass blowing, Konrad can be found exploring Baxter State Park or Acadia for which he designs his own camping equipment.
