He was exposed to\u00a0a great many media while growing up. \u00a0After finishing up at the U of U, he worked in his father\u2019s advertising agency as a graphic designer, giving him more freedom of creativity.<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0then\u00a0settled in Park City in the late 80\u2019s. Raising his two boys in this Mountain Town, they enjoy all it has to offer. In 2010, he took a glass fusing class at the Kimball Art Center and that sparked his interest and career in kiln-formed glass. He\u2019s also completed a 3-week residency at the Pilchuck Glass School in 2022. Kiln-formed glass encompasses many techniques of glass art, including fusing, slumping, painting with enamels and kiln casting.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0focuses on\u00a0glass casting large sculptures, which is his main passion. Glass is a\u00a0spectacular\u00a0medium for color and when light shines through,\u00a0it <em>radiates<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When Mitch is not in the studio, he is out enjoying nature\u2014exploring Utah&#8217;s vast backcountry, which provides the inspiration for his work. \u00a0In addition to kiln-formed glass, he works with stained glass, glass blowing and cold work.<\/p>\n<p>Other media he works in are:\u00a0carving Linocut blocks for prints,\u00a0welding, blacksmithing,\u00a0painting\u00a0and photography.<\/p>\n<p>One of Mitch\u2019s favorite quotes is: <strong>&#8220;Everyone is an artist; you just <\/strong><strong>haven&#8217;t found your medium.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong><em>Mitch Bedke Glass Art<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mitchbedkeart.com\/\">https:\/\/www.mitchbedkeart.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong><em>\u00a0435-659-0172<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.0&#8243;
