Daniel Pruitt

Daniel Pruitt (glassfusingartist@sbcglobal.net) is a glass fusing artist currently operating a teaching studio with the focus on fusing workshops and professional development courses for art teachers. He is currently an adjunct faculty member with Ashland University and is offering several professional development courses for graduate credit or simply personal artistic growth and development.

Dan has been working and teaching warm glass techniques since 1999, fusing, slumping, pate de verre (paste of glass), and creating in glass powders and frits. He studied with Rene Culler of the Cleveland Institute of Art and holds his MFA from Kent State University. He taught for many years at North Olmsted high school where his students have created several large fused glass projects that have been permanently installed in the high school and the Teen Room of the North Olmsted branch of the Cuyahoga County library.

In 2004 he was invited to present at The Bullseye Glass Company’s 1st Annual BeCon International Educator’s conference held in Portland, Oregon.

Glass fusing is a popular and exciting medium to work in. Because of his experience in this medium, many years of classroom teaching and also in fundraising, time will be spent during the Warm Glass Fusing course in considering ways to successfully raise money for the artist teacher to enrich the classroom environment through grant writing.
