Glass Paperweight
Jill Davis
"My first commission as a young glass blower was 125 paperweights as favors at a fancy corporate event. That job paid for my first class at the renowned Pilchuck Glass School, and made me think it just might be possible to earn a living blowing glass. 36 years later I'm still blowing glass and paperweights hold a special place in my heart. The interiors feature abstract swirls of color and bubbles." - Jill Davis

About the Artist
Jill Davis
Born and raised just outside Boston, Massachusetts, Jill Henrietta Davis began her career in glass at the New York Experimental Glass Workshop while studying at the Parsons School of Design. Upon completion of her BFA in 1991 she became the first Parsons student to earn a degree with a specialization in glass.
In 2003, after 15 years of making one-of-a-kind artworks in glass, Jill undertook a new challenge by founding Henrietta Glass, a limited production studio. Born from the idea that it is even harder to design a really great piece of glass that can be readily reproduced than a really great one-of-a-kind, Henrietta Glass strives to bring excellent design and craftsmanship to audiences outside the limited world of fine art galleries. With smart design, contemporary colors and a sense of humor, Henrietta Glass seeks to add art to the home, office or gift giving.
