About

Brynn Hurlstone is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, and fabricator who creates consumptive, sensorial objects and environments that invite engagement. She considers trauma and its relationship to precarity, unspeakability, isolation, connection, and release by allowing material reactivity and subjective experience to speak reciprocally through her work.

Hurlstone is the owner of Second Generation Glassworks, the co-founder of the Glass Impact nonprofit coalition, and the former Director of Operations of Public Glass in San Francisco. She received a BFA from Bowling Green State University and an MFA from Tyler School of Art and Architecture, where she is an Adjunct Assistant Professor. Recent exhibitions include Capacity, a solo show awarded through the prestigious Wind Challenge, Art of the State at the State Museum of Pennsylvania, and the recent national exhibition Through a Glass Darkly at Delaware Contemporary Museum, which was hailed as the “new guard of glassmakers” in the Spring 2023 issue of Glass Magazine.
