Because of this show, I’ve had the opportunity to be interviewed by National Public Radio, get in contact with different artists, and speak at a couple panels. “I’ve gained quite a few followers on Instagram, Facebook, and even some patrons on Patreon*.
I get recognized in public sometimes and that’s consistently surprising and funny. I’m trying to keep things manageable, producing glass on a scale I can keep up with independently. There’s a lot of parts to my life that I want to keep in balance and I’m doing my best to maintain that while taking new opportunities as they appear.” Alexander Rosenberg “I haven’t changed very much about what I do from day-to-day. I still teach and blow glass a few times a week at Salem Community College. I worry about not capitalizing on this opportunity, and unlike them, I live in a place that has possibilities for artists.” Deborah Czeresko They don’t have the opportunities that a contestant in the US would have. The contestants have dreams of contracts in Bollywood but say the only job they can get is a bellhop in a local hotel. I read that there are a lot of competitive singing shows in India with very talented singers. Success from this point on is not a miracle, the person must make it happen. Tim Gunn from Project Runway said it really depends on the persons’ ambition and who they were before the show.

I was curious and researched what happens to reality tv show winners. Don’t get me wrong-I’d love an acting career, I love being in front of the camera. But, practically, I need to refocus, to create an identifiable artistic vision-evaluate what are the most important things for me to be making. “Friends of mine were like…”you’d better get an agent”-implying I would get an acting contract-Ha! I said I think I better get a gallery, I’m an artist. It has actually given me a lot of hope and a new appreciation of humanity.” Janusz Poźniak – Seattle, Washington How are you maximizing your newfound Netflix fame? This experience, in particular, has been really surprising and unexpected. So many fans of Blown Away have reached out, wanting to support me, and even if they aren’t in a position to financially support my work by purchasing a piece, they have encouraged me to continue doing what I love and not doubt myself. The show has directed a lot of lovely people to my work, and for that, I am very grateful. Glass is such a beautiful, captivating medium, and yet so many people have not really had the opportunity or reason to investigate it as such. I am so happy that the show has been such a hit. The success of this show has also sparked a lot of meaningful conversations that I want to continue through my artwork, and as an activist.” Momoko Schafer (aka Momo) – Boston, Massachusetts I’m so happy to see that people are excited about this art form and I hope to see that momentum continue to build. “Because of the show, I’ve noticed more people are aware, if not interested, in glassblowing. I honestly might have looked down my nose at this type of exposure in the past, but my experience has been thoroughly positive.” Alexander Rosenberg – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania I’ve had some fun interviews and other media exposure, but also my classes are filling up faster, and my students seem more engaged.

“I didn’t know that participating in the series would result in a big social media following, but it has. It’s helping me sell the kind of glass I like to make and get traction for other projects. I’ve felt so connected to my new fans, and very supported by them and their words, it’s so powerful in my life.” Deborah Czeresko – New York City, New York Deb Czeresko working in the Amphitheater Hot Shop at CMoG during her Blown Away winners residency A door has opened for my career and to continue to progress I need things that are longer-lasting like gallery shows, and a way to keep making art such as residencies. Blown Away has been a springboard for me to redefine my artistic goals and work strategically on achieving them. The challenge is to translate that into something more permanent. This has given me an opportunity to step up to the next level in my career. “I have newfound notoriety created by the success of Blown Away. Four months after the release of Blown Away, we caught up with some of the contestants to find out how their lives have changed in the wake of the hit Netflix show, and to ask… what’s next? What has the success of Blown Away meant for you?
