Joey Walker Glass Artist

In 2014 Joey Walker began learning to make lampworked beads from a mentor who lived right next door. Since then he has become a skillful borosilicate lampworker. In 2016 he relocated to Dearborn, Michigan where he began working at a production glass studio as a handyman, learning and practicing classical style glassblowing when requested until he began assisting with production regularly as well as teaching demonstration classes at the Glass Academy. Over a decade later, Joey has continued honing his craft both personally and professionally. He is a teacher at the Wyandotte Glass and Art Center and a seasoned gaffer for their gallery. He also offers private lessons out of his home studio.
