New Works, New Artists” exhibit. Molly's artist residency (2025/2026) at Eagle Hill School as the S.T.A.R artist included building a new flameworking facility, instruction, and a solo gallery show.ARTIST STATEMENT: Molly Jackson's current style of working with hot glass is spontaneous and improvisational. "I follow what the glass wants to do. I work with the way it cracks, breaks, and bends. While the glass is in the flame I search for the lines, shape, and form that will best facilitate light and color to flow through the glass giving it natural rhythm and movement."Since 2003 Molly Jackson glass jewelry and sculpture has been featured worldwide: boutiques, magazines, high-fashion runways, musicians and celebrities. Recently she has begun designing a new line of glass housewares.She has taught locally at Worcester Center for Crafts, New Street Glass, and Snow Farm.
