Rebecca Arday
United States

Rebecca Arday’s work interweaves art, science, and history. Utilizing glass and other amorphous, ephemeral materials, she explores (im)permanence and (in)stability in relation to the personal and societal. Her pieces distill gigantic notions into intimate, animate, uncanny things. She holds an MFA from the Department of Art at The Ohio State University (2021) and BFA in glass from the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology (2008). Her work has been included in exhibitions across the United States as well as in Bulgaria, China, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. She has been invited to present lectures and give demonstrations in the United States, Denmark, and New Zealand. She has taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology and The Ohio State University and summer workshops at Penland School of Crafts and Pilchuck Glass School. Rebecca is currently an Assistant Professor of Glass in Sculpture/Dimensional Studies and the Director of the National Casting Center Glass Studios at Alfred University in Alfred, NY.
