Erin and Jason join creative forces to share with you a collaboration inspired by a mutual appreciation for the culinary arts in marriage with high craftsmanship!  

This collaboration began when Erin, on a search for a skilled glassmaker, discovered the one-of-a-kind art glass beetroot cloches that Jason recently created for Atelier Crenn, a 3 Star Michelin Restaurant in the heart of San Francisco.

During our first meeting Erin and Jason shared project concepts and work samples with one another and; on seeing a particularly nice glaze on one of Erin’s pieces; simultaneously had the idea to create glass caviar to harmonize with / accompany Erin’s glazed Caviar serving dishes. 

With mutual enthusiasm it was agreed that this collaboration must go ahead.

In one of the most recent classes both students got really into their experience and designed and created outstanding glass projects with Jason.

The participants always get as much hands on time with the glass as they are comfortable with. Jason encourages each student to take over their own project as much as possible but is always ready to step in to guarantee that every class participant walks away with some finished work.

Glassmaker and Artist Evan Kolker at work in Glow Glass Studio in Oakland, working on a pitcher plant, September 2015. This is very technical work requiring years of glass working experience. Evan is regularly assisted by Jason Stropko and sometimes assists with Jason’s projects, too. There are some things that are very difficult if not impossible to create without having a competent assistant who also has a thorough understanding of how glass works.
