This blog will be a weekly journal of my experience as a Fulbright Fellow in the Czech Republic. My research is taking part at the Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenicky Senov. My interest is in glass cutting and engraving; the techiques, history, teaching style and tradition of the Czech Glassmakers.

week 27 Photos Part 6
View from our friends building in Ceska Kamenice, looking toward Kamneicky Senov. On top of the hill(mountain) in the background is the remains of a castle.
Hi Chad, I've just looked at your photos again, and enjoyed them as much or more as the first time. Man! I would sure like to hike up to that castle with you. Dad
I am an artist that has been working in glass for about 10 years. I first studied art & glass at Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas. After receiving my BFA I studied at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York, where I completed an MFA in glass.
Since then I have worked in such facilities as; Grand Crystal(Artist-in Residence), Peitou, Taipei, Taiwan, The Museum of Glass(Lead Technician), Tacoma, Washington, & Pratt Fine Art Center(Glass Tehnician/Studio Manager), Seattle, Washington.
I have also had the great pleasure of working with such incredible artists such as; Paul Marioni, Martin Blank, Dale Chihuly, Charles Parriott and most recently Maya Lin.
Now I am a Fulbright Fellow studying at the Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenicky Senov, The Czech Republic. I am joined by my wife and two year old son.
