Bandhu Dunham
Bandhu Dunham is an internationally respected glass artist, author, and teacher. His work is in the permanent collections of numerous museums in the US and abroad, and his Contemporary Lampworking books are the authoritative, standard instructional texts in his field.
Born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1959, Bandhu began to teach himself lamp work technique in 1975, while still in high school. As an undergraduate at Princeton, he received informal training from the University's glassblower before completing his apprenticeship under American and European masters at Urban Glass, the Pilchuck Glass School, and the Penland School of Crafts. He regularly teaches workshops at craft schools and private studios around the United States and internationally. In 2010 he was Visiting Foreign Instructor at Osaka University of Arts in Osaka, Japan.
