Featured Artist Reception: Signe Ballew

Residue by Signe Ballew is an upcoming gallery exhibition (August 10 – September 30, 2019) at the North Carolina Glass Center. Join us for a reception to celebrate Signe and her unique and beautiful work.
“Residue, by definition, is a small amount of something that remains after the main part has gone, been taken or used. With this body of work, I am exploring the idea of residue and traces of things left behind. These pieces are the beginning stages of my exploration, incorporating decals and image transfers.”

Signe Ballew studied glass blowing at Alfred University and received her BFA in 2012, with a focus on glass and printmaking. After graduation, she has worked for several non-profits along the east coast. She started flameworking while working as the Special Topics Artist Fellow at Peters Valley School of Craft in New Jersey in 2014. Her work has been shown in NYC at the Museum of Art and Design, Peters Valley School of Craft, and in galleries throughout Asheville, NC. Signe currently lives in Asheville and works as one of the instructors and studio monitors in the flame shop at the NC Glass Center.
