This time on Set and Setting, Ben Belgrad joins Madison Margolin to talk about flow-states, glassblowing, and more. Ben Belgrad is a multi-media artist who specializes in glass flameworking. He began blowing glass over a decade ago while in college, and has spent the last ten years developing his skills and building his business. Through his company Drinking Vessels, Belgrad represents over 50 artists making handmade drinkware. His studio is based in the mountains of Colorado near Vail, where he creates his art and distributes handmade cups for many of the top glass pipe makers in the world, along with artists of other mediums. He is using his platform to promote the glass pipe art movement and share that underground art movement with the masses. In his free time, you can find Belgrad snowboarding at Vail or working on his art, while most of his time is spent curating and collaborating with the artists he represents.
