In the third season of Blown Away, 10 new contestants face 10 creative challenges in the hot pursuit of being crowned Best in Glass. This year’s winner will take home the biggest prize package yet: $60,000 in cash and a residency at the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass where, for the first time ever, the finale-winning installation will be on view.
The pressure is high and the heat’s even higher, as competitors are challenged to push their technical and conceptual skills to the limit in an all-out quest to prove one of them is better than the rest.
The fiery trailer officially dropped on June 29, 2022.
Popular science influencer Nick Uhas hosts the series alongside renowned glass artist and instructor Katherine Gray, who is the resident evaluator for the contestants’ artwork. Professional glass artists serve as guest judges throughout the season, including Season 1 winner Deborah Czeresko.
This season features competitors with compelling backstories and deeply personal art pieces. To read more about all 10 contestants, check out the Blown Away Season 3 cast guide.
Blown Away Season 3 will be released on July 22, 2022.
The hosts deliver captivating challenges inspired by outer space, the circus, the Seven Deadly Sins and more. For each challenge, contestants must create an original piece of blown glass artwork. They begin by using chalk to sketch out life-size renderings of their imagined creations on the hot shop floor and then work with an assigned helper to prepare their works of art.
Each round concludes with a showcase and evaluators’ critique of each piece, resulting in one declared winner — Best in Blow — and one elimination. If contestants don’t blow away the evaluators (and the competition) with their concept, creativity and technical skills, they’ll be sent home.
The third season of Blown Away takes place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, inside a warehouse that’s been converted into the Blown Away Hot Shop.
