jenine's Profile

Bio

I flamework glass components! The process feels analogous to drawing mid-air, with molten glass. I incorporate the glass forms into larger wearable pieces, using forged sterling silver and handmade textile elements.

I also like to sculpt dolls and puppets with handmade glass eyes and glass teeth.

I started flameworking glass in January of 1998, after I ordered a kit in the mail and taught myself. I later received a BFA in glass from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001.

I love to experiment, share skills & teach, and collaborate.

I'm excited to say that I'm featured in "Handmade Nation", the new book on Princeton Architectural Press! I'm also in the movie by the same name, which will be released on DVD in November of 2009.
