Last week, the University of Hawaii’s glass program hosted Evan Schauss as part of its Visiting Artist Program in Glass. Students were treated to a brief slide lecture and a live glass-blowing demonstration by Schauss, with help from student-run Glass Art Family club members.

Evan Schauss has been working with glass for over 20 years, and he currently operates out of his “all-in-one” hot shop on the island of Maui. Schauss travels frequently and has even operated out of a mobile hot shop at festivals and events such as Burning Man.

During his demonstration on Thursday, Schauss spent hours crafting a large glass skull piece with the help of upper-level glass students.

Schauss formed the skull's jaw as a separate piece that he would later apply to the fully formed skull. He shaped the bottom jaw using various tools to create the shapes of the teeth.

Justin Gardner, Contributor
Hi there! My name is Justin Gardner, and I am a senior at the University of Hawaii at Manoa double majoring in journalism and art. I was born and raised in Roscoe, Texas and graduated from Roscoe Collegiate High School in 2017. I moved to Hawaii to attend college following high school; however, unsure what I wanted to do, I left school after a short time. After working various jobs, I returned to college at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2020 where I am now working toward my Bachelor's degree. After moving to Hawaii, I developed a passion for surfing and photography, leading me to work as a surf photographer across Oahu. I have had the privilege of photographing various surf events such as the Billabong Pipe Pro and the 2022-2023 Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational. I have also worked with Hawaiian Island Creations and B.Clem Surfboards to produce promotional content for social media.
