I have been blowing glass for 14 years now and it still never ceases to amaze me. The immediacy and versatility of the medium is what immediately grabbed my attention. Glass can be brightly colored, transparent or opaque, refract light or glow. I primarily make blown glass vessels, sculpture, and installations.

Theresa Jorgensen guest at Glass Blowing Austin Hand blown glass
I have been influenced by art all my life; as a child I was surrounded with potters from around the world and the classic vessel shapes used, altered and molded to each person’s style. In school I learned the elegance that can be achieved in simplicity. So, my work plays on the shapes that will pleasantly carry a unique, simple design and the different textures that can be created with glass. 6910 Shirley Ave Ste B • (910) 992-4015 theresa.jorgensen@gmail.com • jorgensenglass.com
