Visiting Artist Jason Christian

December 30 & 31

Jason Christian is a glass artist living in the Seattle area. He was born in 1976 to a metal fabricator and a cardiac nurse. He became involved in glass art at the age of 21, starting as a factory charger and slowly developing his glass knowledge through experience. He has worked with a variety of well-known artists in the Seattle community, including Martin Blank, Preston Singletary, James Mongraine, and Nancy Callan. For almost a decade, he has been an integral member of Dale Chihuly’s Boathouse team, collaborating and working with international artists, including Pino Singnoretti. His individual work explores the art of reticello, classical Venetian techniques, and modern simplicity. Recently, he has been developing art inspired by the works of Fabergé, combining the delicate complexity of reticello with the intricate detailing for which Fabergé’s eggs are known.
