Snail Glass Sculpture
Jill Davis
"When I was eight I discovered a poem titled "Don't Quit" on a scrap of newspaper hidden in one of the pigeon holes of an old desk handed down to me from my great-grandmother, Henrietta. It's stayed with me ever since and is the inspiration for my new Snails. Snails often don't seem to be moving, but they simply do not quit and that persistence inevitable gets them where they need to go. Give a snail to a friend facing a challenge, or keep one yourself as a reminder that like the snail with his house on his back you have everything you need to succeed, and if only you stay headed in the right direction you WILL reach your goal." - Jill Davis
Each snail is hand-sculpted from hot glass, so no two are ever quite the same, just like people's goals.

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.
