So close to Halloween, Elev8’s special guest Cynthia DeMatteo pulled out all the stops and dressed as one of Joe Exotic’s Tigers! Facepaint and all! Throughout the interview, she went through her glass blowing journey, and she has really went through a lot. She even blew glass in Colorado Springs. Her journey really has built who she is and how her glass has advanced. She has been working on art through @DeMatteaoArt for over 10 years now, starting with drawing, clay, then moving to glass.
The sculpture work that she has mastered really brings new ideas to the industry. The tiny terp pearls that DeMatteao Art has been doing are amazing. She explained how much time goes into such a small piece of glass. It is crazy! She has to be so surgical with her movements with working with glass that small. Be sure to follow Cynthia on Instagram @DeMatteoArt to stay tuned to the latest and greatest from this very talented artist.
