In addition, students and alumni from Sheridan’s Bachelor of Craft and Design (Glass) helped build the hot shop and were featured heavily in the first season. Sheridan helped bring the first season of Blown Away to the small screen in February 2019. Vanderstukken served as the series consultant, and Sheridan loaned over $10,000 worth of equipment to outfit the show’s Hamilton-based facility (what is now North America’s largest hot shop).

“Returning for the second season, all the assistants from Sheridan knew how to prepare, what to expect, and were able to seamlessly bring their talent, skill and passion to the production.” “ Blown Away was made possible thanks to input from Sheridan’s alumni, students and technologists, which helped build not only the physical studio, but also the infrastructure of the series,” says Koen Vanderstukken, Sheridan’s Head of Glass and series consultant. This season, Blown Away continues its exploration into the world of glassblowing, featuring contestants from across the globe. It was praised for showcasing a deep appreciation for the art of glassblowing and a respect for the extraordinary artists who have mastered the medium.
The first season of Blown Away garnered rave reviews across Canada and in The New Yorker, Time Magazine and The Washington Post.
One artist is eliminated in each episode, with the winner earning the title of Best in Blow. Hosted by YouTube star Nick Uhas, Blown Away’s skilled glassmakers are given a challenge and limited time to fabricate beautiful works of art that are assessed by a panel of expert judges. In the new season, viewers will see 10 exceptional glassblowers push themselves to creative extremes, with the help of students and alumni from Sheridan’s Bachelor of Craft and Design (Glass) program serving as featured assistants. The highly-anticipated second season of the hit Netflix reality series is set to debut on January 22.
While the weather outside may be chilly, things are heating up in the Blown Away hot shop.
