In this workshop students will be making their own glass jewelry with a focus on glass pendants. Using various color applications and fuming techniques students will learn how to flamework borosilicate glass into their own unique creation. Starting with basic flameworking techniques, students will gain a solid foundation of skills and knowledge over the two days in the studio. This class is open to all skill levels and is a perfect way to start your journey into the world of flameworking glass.

No prior experience is required to participate. This workshop includes lunch in Pilchuck’s historic dining lodge.

About Jason Elliott

Jason Elliott is a glass artist who works primarily with borosilicate glass, creating sculptural and functional forms merging technical precision with speculative design. Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Elliott has been working in glass for over 25 years, developing a practice grounded in structural clarity, material fluency, and conceptual inquiry.

His work draws inspiration from futuristic aesthetics and systems of communication, exploring how objects can embody connection, transmission, and the exchange of ideas. Through clean geometry and engineered detail, Elliott creates forms that evoke both scientific instrumentation and imagined technologies.

Balancing craftsmanship with curiosity-driven experimentation, his sculptures reflect an ongoing interest in how material, form, and concept intersect. Elliott’s work invites viewers to consider the evolving ways we communicate — with each other, with our environment, and across time.
