We recently connected with Dara Alper and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Dara, thanks for joining us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
I started in my career as a glassblower. During the pandemic, I was unable to use the studio. I really wanted to gain skills that would keep me employed through any future crises, and so I decided to earn my welding certificate! The way molten metal moved was so similar to molten glass. After working as a welder for 2 years, my artistic side needed to be nourished. When I realized there was no glassblowing education or opportunities in my new city of Greensboro, I decided to change this. My love of the molten arts led me to the name: Molten Makerspace.
