Resume
To whom it may concern:
I am proud to be a lifelong professional glassblowing artist. I began my career at the beginning of the American Craft Movement in 1972. Long before there were today’s resources for glassblowers, I owned and operated my own studio for many years, so I have a wealth of experience in all aspects of the profession. I have managed teams of glassblowers, taught glassblowing for artists, and operated blow-your-own-glass activities for non-artists. I am good with people both young and mature.
I am now exploring new opportunities, and am interested in the following industries:
Gaffing
Assisting
Production
One-of-a-kind commissions
Cold working
Sales
Marketing
Promotions
Teaching
Demonstrations
Equipment maintenance
In any of the above categories, I am willing to follow all protocols required.
Thank you for your consideration,
Stephen Fellerman
