#BLOWN AWAY SEASON 2 PIECES SERIES#

His attitude isn't unlike his peers- Blown Away's competitors come with an unbridled sense of confidence that you won't find on Bake Off. Janusz Pozniak, a Seattle-based artist, smugly claims that he'd be surprised if there's anyone in the competition with his level of experience. Leah Kudel, a younger artist, constructs a wine decanter designed to be a fanny pack with a matching glass meant to fit in a woman's cleavage-because, as she notes, what bartender at the club is going to have the time to decant your wine? Solution: stick it in your wine fanny until you're ready for your next glass.Д«ut interwoven in the sweet absurdism of competition glassblowing is a true dedication to art. Deborah Czeresko, a Brooklyn artist who has been blowing for over 30 years, gives an impassioned description of why her Venetian taco holders are fit to sit on BeyoncГ©'s table. Host Nick Uhas, former Big Brother contestant and science YouTuber, is perhaps the most accessible part of the series, acting as a mouthpiece between glassblower and the rest of the world.

The series waffles between the innocence of Great British Bake Off and the dramatic gravitas of American Ninja Warrior. There are no twists or alliances-just craft. The best piece of art wins each episode, and the finale comes down to one big challenge where the judges also consider the two finalistsвЂ™ entire bodies of work. The worst piece of art gets kicked out of the competition. Each installment is a 20-ish-minute episode with one goal: build a glass piece that encapsulates the weekвЂ™s theme. If you step into the arena of glassblowing, leave your giggles at the door. Even when describing a 'glory hole,' a furnace opening where blowers reheat their glass, no one so much as smirks at the camera. The host, judges, and cast of Blown Away exist in a bubble where there is nothing more complex and important than glassblowing. But what actually works about the series is that it's a bit like your friend who got too into magic growing up. What initially drew me into the competition reality series, which begins and ends in a succinct four-hours, is the series' cover photo featuring a woman blowing molten glass out the end of a pipe.
