Jared Neal @ Marrowbone Glassworks

Jared Neal discovered glassblowing while working in a trade environment that helped him see artistry in every skill, not just in traditional art forms. Drawn in by the endless possibilities of the material, he quickly became fascinated with exploring what glass can do.

“I took to glass after seeing the endless possibilities that came with the material and wanted to test the boundaries of what exactly glass could do,” Jared says. After spending years working 40+ hours a week in a glass facility, those possibilities only continued to grow. “One door may shut, but another would open. Here I am years later still exploring and opening new doors, and hopefully I can hold the door open for someone else to see the possibilities too,” he said. 

Find this artist during Winter Arts Fest, happening March 12 from 4–7PM at Marrowbone Glassworks (glassblowing demonstration beginning around 5PM).
