Transitioning from working for a financial investment corporation to creating glasswork for a living was a life-changing leap for Max Derderian thanks in part to Aurora Borealis Glassworks.
“My parents gifted me the Aurora Borealis class with a gift certificate as a birthday present,” Derderian said. “Before that, I really had no idea that glass was something that you could do. I didn’t know that as an art form. I’ve been doing art my whole life, a lot of woodworking and drawing and stuff, but never anything quite like this.”
