An Artist and Educator Brian Frus

Shanga was fortunate to have the expertise of Brian Frus, an artist and an educator from Maine, USA.

Brian brought with him a wealth of knowledge on glass blowing and various techniques as he started working with glass in 1996 and is extremely passionate about the art form.

Being an educator and having his own workshop, Brian quickly became a part of the Shanga glass blowing team and worked side by side our team to learn our techniques and our products, and then was able to expand on these and teach our team a different way of thinking and looking at glass with fresh eyes and a new perspective.

During his 3 weeks at Shanga the creativity and generosity of skills and time from Brian is a gift the Shanga team will be talking about for a very long time. The new skills the team has learnt are being put into practice every day, and our team has a new energy and zealousness.
