WAAL Meeting – January 9, 2025
Speaker: Jonathan Capps
Recently at Hawk Galleries’ ‘Brilliant’ exhibition
Jonathan was a contestant on season 4 of Netflix’s, Blown Away.
Jonathan developed a love for glass during undergraduate school at Centre College (Danville, KY), where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2005. For almost a decade following school, Capps worked as a freelance artist, designer, and glassblower, traveling extensively to learn, teach, and pursue the mastery of his craft.
In 2016 he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from The Ohio State University, and in 2018 he was awarded a U.S. Fulbright Grant in Art and Design to spend a year researching cultural, educational, and studio exchanges in glass art. Selected as a 2020 Fulbright Alumni Ambassador, Capps volunteers for the U.S. Student Fulbright Program and the U.S. State Department’s International Institute of Education (IIE) to engage in outreach and recruitment.
