He was raised in a small farm town in Maryland. Alton started blowing glass in 2009 at the age of sixteen. He went on to receive his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a concentration in glass in 2014. After graduation he relocated to Seattle\, Washington to participate in the cities vibrant glass scene. \nMark your calendars and join us Friday\, January 30th at the Hot Shop as we celebrate Alton’s residency with a free\, public demonstration. It will be a night filled with creativity\, laughter\, and probably a few surprises along the way. \nRSVP for Hot Shop Hot Nights \nArtist Bio \nAlton’s studio work is an exploration of both his gender and racial identity using pattern and form.
