SPRING FORWARD: New Glass by Jes Kopitske
May 1 – 25
This collection of new work by Jes K features functional and decorative glass inspired by the renewing energy of spring. Jes has been working in glass for over 20 years and often looks to nature for new ideas.
“The beauty and fragility of glass harmoniously echo the natural world. In this series of work I want to mirror the rich, deep palette of a flower garden in full bloom.”
Working primarily in the hot shop, Jes usually uses simple, traditional glassblowing tools and techniques. After creating a ‘blank’ (a glass form with color on the outer surface) she uses cut vinyl resists and sandblast engraving to achieve the detailed designs prevalent in her pieces.
When not creating her own work at Third Degree, Jes helps with studio custom glass production, maintains a rooftop garden at MADE, and enjoys hanging out with her two kids.
Artist Reception is in conjunction with Third Friday, May 17 from 6-10 pm. Visit the gallery Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am- 5pm, May 1 – 25
