PATTANTYUSGLASS

I was born in Pécs in 1972.My father was a ceramicist and my mother a teacher. My father taught me to drawand to think... I graduated from the Visual and Applied Arts Vocational Secondary School in 1990 and with a degree from the Applied Arts University in 1995. I had one real teacher there in the strict sense of the word: the philosopher, Elemér Kéri.I recieved my Masters Degree in 1997 at the same place. My teachers at the time were my friends, as they often were later on. Professionally and as people.I then received a Lajos Kozma Applied Arts scholarship for three years. That is when I turned my full attention to blown, furnace-ready, glass making and it seems this was definitive.In 2004 I got a scholarship to the glass department of the Dublin National College to do my Ph.D. My teacher was the excellent Róisín de Buitéar.I have been teaching modelling and glass design at the Applied Arts University in Budapest, now the Moholy-Nagy Arts University. I live in Révfülöp with my wife..
