Glassblowers Needed!
Glassmakers, contact us and sign up to try out for the Blow Glass at Sea program aboard Celebrity Cruises. During the tryout, you will be expected to make a two-gather piece, such as an optic bowl or a handkerchief vase or bowl, using simple or no color. The most successful pieces are blown pieces which show change quickly and are completed in no more than 30 minutes. Candidates will also be expected to narrate a demonstration (while assisting the gaffer). Candidates will be sent a script prior to the tryout.
Successful tryout candidates will be invited to Corning, NY, to train for three to four weeks before being scheduled for an assignment at sea. If you are chosen for the Blow Glass at Sea program, you will need to pass a drug test and physical examination which are required by Celebrity Cruise Lines. Participants must be able to live onboard a Celebrity Cruises vessel for a minimum of three months.
Interested?E-mail your resume, interest form, and photos of your work to Debra Sharretts at The Corning Museum of Glass. She will contact you with additional details. You may also reach her at 607.974.8241 for more information.
