Native to Calgary, Alberta, Brad Turner holds a masters degree in Fine Arts from Alfred University. He creates a mix of sculptural and functional glass objects with a focus on clean design and concept.
Maintaining an honest use of material, Turner’s glasswork seeks to elevate the medium’s unique characteristics, whether it’s the rare combination of strength and fragility, the unmistakable relationship with light and optics, or it’s storied roots in vessel-making and functional design. He has exhibited in multiple international exhibitions and received numerous awards, including the RBC Award for Glass and most recently from the BC Arts Council.
