Curt Brock

Curt Brock has run the Glass Program at the Appalachian Center for Craft since 1988.  As Associate Professor of Glass he has developed the program to focus on hand-blown form with a strong emphasis on technical mastery in hot worked and cold worked glass.  Students in the Glass Program receive broad background in historical and contemporary glass, and participate in an active dialogue about the role of glass in the art world today. Brock ensures that his students acquire the proper information and skills to enter and thrive in the world of studio glass.  The emphasis on strong technical knowledge with experience and real-world survival skills sets this glass program apart from all others in academia today.
