Karl Carter sent me this glassblowing Google Alert concerning Bucks County glassblower Jason Curtis.

 

Always nice to see a local glassblower get the artistic recognition he richly deserves.

Jason Curtis, a long-time Easton resident now living in New Hope, Pa., came to town recently to visit his parents, Dolly and Jack Curtis, and to show his glass art at the Bruce Museum fine crafts show May 17 and 18 in Greenwich.

He had antique lamps with glass parts that he has reassembled and blown, hand-blown drinking glasses and many whimsical pieces. With him was Carla Riley, showing their collaborative glass and found object art.

 

Mr. Curtis grew up in Easton and now lives in New Hope, where he works in the hot shop at Bucks Community College. 

 

The hot shop is closed for the summer semester because it will soon be too hot to blow glass, the furnace burns at 2,000 degrees and raises the temperature to 110 degrees in the studio.

Mr. Curtis has devoted his career to perfecting the ancient art of glass blowing, which has been his passion since he discovered it while a student at Joel Barlow High School.

He has glass art objects for sale starting at $20 on up. For information, reach him at   <mailto:jesseboyfat at gmail.com> jesseboyfat at gmail.com.
