After a highly successful first season, the second season of Netflix glassblowing competition show “Blown Away,” once again features Cal State San Bernardino’s art professor Katherine Gray as the resident glass evaluator.
“I think for viewers who are newly fascinated by glassblowing that they are going to see some incredible things this season,” Gray said. “Even I saw some things that I hadn’t seen before.”
Season two also welcomes CSUSB alumna Nao Yamamoto as a contestant.
Yamamoto, who received her master of fine arts in studio art and design, noted that although she felt a lot of pressure and anxiety as a contestant on the show, she really enjoyed the overall experience.
“It was so much fun getting to know other talented artists, including the production team for the show,” she said.

“Daryl shared that he was about to take a week off to process the toxic emotions he was still feeling, eight months after Floyd’s murder. It was like a one-two punch, he told me: the pandemic and then Floyd.”
