Nadine Saylor graduated from Alfred University in May 2007 with her Masters of Fine Art in Sculpture Dimensional Studies. After blowing glass for twelve years and working with many different masters in glassblowing, she began casting glass as well as working in mixed media sculpture. She went to the University of the Arts for Photography in the mid-nineties where she studied the human form creating shapes with the light and shadow reflected on the fleshy body. Her sculptures deal with the human condition and the idea of self-consciousness. Her sense of humor and whimsy can be understood by people of all ages. Her work has been shown in Glass Quarterly and American Craft Magazine.

Most recently she has been adjunct professor for the past year teaching various Glass Casting and Glassblowing classes at Alfred University in the glass department. She has taught classes at the Pittsburgh Glass Center and “The Studio” at the Corning Museum of Glass. Currently, she is a resident at Sculpture Space in Utica, NY and will be teaching a class at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina at the end of the summer with Eddie Bernard of Wet Dog Glass. She will start a new job in the fall as an Instructor in the glass department at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. In August of 2009 she will have her first solo show at the Deleware Valley Arts Allience in Narrowsburg, NY.
