Season 2 of Blown Away on Netflix

Curated by Meg Birmingham

Having spent so much time up in the city of Tacoma I have a weird obsession with glass blowing. Not only is the art itself is beautiful with a rich history dating back to ancient Rome (also a big plus for me but we can get to that at a later date) but the process of blowing glass is incredible to watch. When you combine all of this with a bit of competition you have me hooked. Season 2 of Blown Away has been on Netflix for a little over a week and I have already watched it twice. The artists featured are incredible to watch and they create some of the best work I have seen. The episodes are only about 30 minutes long and this is a perfect show for any kind of viewing. Watch the trailer for Blown Away if you’re ready for a new obsession.
