Like even something as simple as shielding, manipulating the glass to keep the heat away, they did a good job of capturing those things in a super HD way that makes it seem more extreme. JL: I think they did a good job of capturing glassblowing and dramatizing things that, for us - as glassblowers - become kind of pedestrian. It wasn't just a bunch of like beefy hot shop gaffers showing off.

Technically, the series first aired on Makeful, but on the mega-streamer, this refreshingly tight competition format (binge it in four hours!) is now reaching that sweet, sweet, global audience - and it features artists from Canada and the United States who fight for the title of 'Best in Blow.' Things like shooting fire bubbles out of a pipe.Įarlier this month, Netflix quietly dropped Blown Away, the world's first show about glassblowing.
