Jan 22, 2021 · Like its inaugural season, Season 2 of Blown Away was filmed at “North America’s largest hot shop,” and while it is the largest, the space didn't start off as a real hot shop. The series was filmed in the city of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada, where the show’s production company, Marblemedia, found and converted an abandoned warehouse ...

Brianna Gluszak:The glass community is so small. Everyone was wondering, "How is the show going to go? Should we apply for it, should we not apply for it?" Jade Usackas:I didn't ever think it would be something designed for glass people. Minna Koistinen: I was excited that this was happening, but at the same time I was a bit nervous because I've do...
BG:(laughs) I can't help but laugh every time they say it. It's kind of like when they say "Best in blow!" I, like, can't help but laugh because it's just so funny. JL:It's a little flex, yeah. JU:There were a lot of benches and a lot of glory holes, but I dunno. It's a great studio, a nice studio, but I don't know if it was like, "Wow, what an inc...
JU:I think it definitely felt true to life. JL:They were definitely very honest about glass falling off and breaking on people. It's a medium that definitely keeps you humble all the time because that sort of thing happens with frustrating regularity! JU:Oh my gosh, that was the best. I was so, so, so pleased with how much glass broke (laughs). Tha...
BG:Yeah, that is normal terminology. You get used to it really fast but, like, I remember being in the first year of school and them saying "glory hole" and everyone being like "hee hee hee hee hee." I forget when I'm not talking to non-glass people that what I'm saying could potentially be very inappropriate. (laughs)
BG: As far as process goes, they show everything fairly correctly. MK: The hornblowing! At the beginning of the episode, that is the funniest thing (laughs). There's like a factory horn. It's really funny. It's cute. But there's definitely no horns [in a hot shop]. The noise that you may hear is an air compressor, but that's a WAY less appealing so...
JU:It would have been nice to see a little bit more about the individuals creating the material in less of a soundbite-y way. JL:I just really wish I'd have seen more glassblowing. That's the thing — like, there were tidbits of it here and there, but I think a lot of it was sort of focused on the relationships of the cast and making them characters...
BG:Naturally, I automatically cheer for the people I know. I TA'd a class that Edgar took a couple years ago, so from the beginning I was kind of cheering for Edgar. And Alex and Leah I know personally. JU:I definitely know Benji. He's a Harbourfront/Sheridan guy, so everyone knows Benji. JL:I know Leah very, very well. I worked with her and went t...
BG:I personally just have an art crush on Katherine Gray. (laughs) JU: Oh! Katherine is, I mean, easily one of the most well respected glass makers, glass artists in the world — especially in Canada. I know that all through my education I really looked up to her and it was really a pleasure watching her critique the work. JL:She's a Canadian icon i...
BG:I don't think it was that — GASP! JL:Depends on the glassblower — big time! I know friends, they make the majority of their yearly income making gift shop stuff. I don't knock them. It's a hustle. Get your money where it's due. However, like, I think that is a bit insulting. I mean, I would take offense to it if someone said that the work that I...
JU:4 out of 5 BG:4 out of 5 JL:4 out of 5 MK:4.5 out of 5 MK:We always get this question that pops up: is it art, is it craft? It still prevails. And I think this show put all that out extremely well because every episode was looking at glass from a different angle and it's not so straightforward. Reality TV usually gets better as you go along, so ...
