Go to map

The Belger Glass Annex, Kansas City’s first public glass blowing studio of its size and scope, is pleased to present visiting artist Rob Stern.

Rob Stern has been working with glass for over 30 years, and has studied and taught glass around the world. Stern has a BFA from San Francisco State University and an MFA from the University of Miami. Stern apprenticed for 5 years with John Lewis Glass (Oakland, CA) where he trained as a metal fabricator and expert glass caster and cold-worker. He then went on to train as a master in the Czech Republic in the Ajeto Glass Factory. Rob is known for his large-scale installations and site-specific sculpture. He was even a contestant on the third season of the hit Netflix show “Blown Away!” During his time at Belger Arts, Rob will make work, give a public artist talk, give a free glassblowing demo, and teach a four-day workshop.

Rob’s expertise and versatility make him an excellent instructor. His energy and showmanship make him a riveting artist to watch live. Rob’s workshop, “Finding Your Way,” will take students on a deep dive into the process of creating glass sculpture. With daily project-specific demos and one-on-one instruction, students will design, develop, and expedite personal projects taking their glass blowing skills to the next level. All programs will take place at the Belger Glass Annex (1219 East 19 th Street, Kansas City, MO 64108).
