BIO:

Jen Violette’s unique landscapes combine soft looking hand blown glass ‘hills’ or ‘drifts’ and small bronze barns or glass houses, greatly inspired by the many historic farm dwellings that dot the rolling hills of bucolic Vermont. For those who don’t live in the foothills of the Green Mountains, or otherwise have a peaceful little oasis to which they can regularly escape, Violette’s lighthearted, imaginative, and bright landscapes are a fine substitute.

Jen Violette began working with glass at Alfred University in 1991 at age 18, and has been working with molten glass for the past 33 years. She received her BFA in glass and metal sculpture from Alfred University School of Art and Design in 1994. She has also studied at the Pilchuck Glass School, The Corning Museum of Glass, Rhode Island School of Design, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts and Penland School of Crafts. Violette has studied with many of the best glass maestros in the world, including Lino Tagliapietra, William Morris, Pino Signoretto, Dante Marioni, Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen, Martin Janecky, Richard Marquis, Randy Walker, Kait Rhoads, Stephen Dee Edwards and Fred Tschida.

Violette was a featured guest artist at the Corning Museum of Glass Ampitheater Hot Shop in 2017 & 2018, and also taught a Creative Glass Sculpting Techniques class at the Corning Museum of Glass in 2018. In May 2019, she was a guest artist at Public Glass in San Francisco, and in November 2019, she was a featured glass artist on the Corning Museum Mobile Glass Stage at SOFA Chicago.
