Nathan Belmont’s adventure as a glass artist began in 2004 in Hawaii, where he first fell in love with the art of glassblowing. His passion for the craft has only grown over the years, and he is now based in Eugene, Oregon, where he continues to create stunning glass pieces. What truly drives Nathan is the incredible glassblowing community, a group of individuals he describes as uniquely loving and supportive. He feels an immense sense of gratitude to be a part of this tight-knit family and is continually inspired by the people around him. Nathan believes that the community deserves his very best, and he works tirelessly to contribute to it in meaningful ways.
Over the years, Nathan’s work has evolved, but his commitment to pushing the boundaries of glassblowing has remained steadfast. He has become known not only for his exceptional craftsmanship but also for his willingness to share his knowledge with others. This commitment to mentorship is evident in the upcoming events Nathan is excited to be a part of. He will be traveling to Costa Rica for a special 4/20 event, where he will bring his glasswork and teach a class, hosted by @clubsocial. This marks a unique opportunity for him to connect with fellow artists and enthusiasts in a beautiful and vibrant setting.
In addition to Costa Rica, Nathan will be teaching in Tucson, Arizona, this May and again in Colorado in July. These classes offer a chance for aspiring glass artists to learn from one of the best in the field, gaining valuable insight into the craft. Nathan’s journey is a testament to the power of community and the relentless pursuit of artistic growth, and he said he’s honored to continue sharing his knowledge and passion with others.
