Belger Arts is pleased to welcome Hoseok Youn to the Belger Glass Annex team!
Since he arrived in September, he’s taught classes and participated in glassblowing demonstrations and events at the Belger Glass Annex. Originally from Seoul, South Korea, he earned a BFA in glass and ceramics from Namseoul University in South Korea, and an MFA in glass from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. He also studied at Pilchuck Glass School in 2018. Most recently he was a studio artist at the Toledo Museum of Art. Hoseok has received scholarships from the Corning Museum of Glass (Corning, NY), the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass, Pittsburgh Glass Center (Pittsburgh, PA), and Namseoul University (Cheon Ahn, South Korea), among others. He has exhibited internationally, and his work has received many awards. Hoseok has a passion for glass education and will be teaching Glass 1 and Glass 2 and monthly Make Your Own events. We are thrilled that he’s in Kansas City to share his skills and expertise with a growing glass community!
