About the Artist: Alana Biffert’s studio practice is expansive, often driven by the exploration of various techniques. Biffert’s accumulative skills are built in both hard and soft glass. Her obsession with this material is mirrored by the depth of her skill set, materialized through her passion for the Arts. A European upbringing constructed the first decade of Biffert’s life in the glass culture of Malta, a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. Glass engulfed her childhood with a dream of becoming a glassblower. Biffert took home a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Glass from Alberta University of the Arts in 2008. Through volunteering locally, she landed a life-changing job as a Glass Technician at Red Deer College. She has attended Corning Museum of Glass as well as other well-known studios, as she continues to build her knowledge and understanding of this demanding material. Her goal is to learn all there is to know about glass.
