Biographical / Historical
Born Scott Dunham in 1959 in Dayton, Ohio, Mr. Dunham changed his name to Bandhu Scott Dunham as an adult. The name Bandhu, which means “friend” or “brother” in Bengali, was given to him by his spiritual teacher Lee Lozowick. He has participated in exhibitions around the world, including Japan, Canada, Germany, and Taiwan. In 2010, Bandhu was Foreign Guest Professor at Osaka University of Arts, in Osaka, Japan. He is the author of Contemporary Lampworking (three volumes), considered to be the authoritative text on the subject.
