JURORS For our 2020 GAS Student Exhibition, we would like to thank jurors, Deborah Czeresko, Chris McElroy, and Rui Sasaki, for their time and expertise. They reviewed 50+ applications from students representing more than 10 different countries to select awards. They were impressed by the level and range of work that was submitted and congratulate all students who have participated.
Deborah Czeresko is a New York City-based artist, fabricator, and designer, Czeresko uses a range of approaches and techniques in her work including hot glass sculpting, performance, and collaboration. She began working with glass at UrbanGlass, formerly the New York Experimental Glass Workshop, in 1987 after earning a BA in psychology from Rutgers University. In 1992, she earned a graduate degree in studio art at Tulane University, New Orleans. Since then, she has been a glassblowing instructor and visiting artist at many universities and schools throughout the United States and in Europe, most recently at Tyler School of Arts in Philadelphia, College of Creative Studies in Detroit and LUCA School of Arts in Ghent, Belgium. In 2019, Czeresko won Netflix’s art glass competition show Blown Away. She has recently been represented by Heller Gallery in Chelsea, New York.

He has exhibited throughout the United States, and has taught flameworking workshops at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass, Red Deer College, Kyoto University of Art and Design, the Penland School of Crafts, and the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.
