Jenny Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles
Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman began their collaboration in 1992. The artists use a variety of materials in their rich assemblages, including hot-sculpted glass, various metal works, found objects and beads, achieving a fine sense of formal balance.
For Knowles (b. 1955) and Pohlman (b. 1960), three notable research field trips had a profound impact on their personal and artistic development: In 1997 they visited Zimbabwe and Botswana; returning to Africa they visited Ghana in 2000; and in 2002 they traveled to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and East Africa. The pair gathered creative and emotional inspiration from these travels. These experiences are used to create sculptures that embody mythological stories in glass. Part of the narrative of the object is derived from the artists’ own travels and part by ancient cultures and magic of African life as witnessed by the two artists: “We have a point of origin and balance our elements within that framework.“
The work of Knowles and Pohlman is in the collections of the Boca Raton Museum of Art, Flint Art Institute, Henry Ford Museum; Lowe Museum of Art, Miami; Mobile Museum of Art; Museum of American Glass; Museum of Glass; National Liberty Museum; New Bedford Museum of Glass; Racine Art Museum; Tacoma Art Museum; and Imagine Museum among others.

- "Threaded Infusion Block in Gold, Purple and Red", Blown and Kiln Cast GlassBy Jamie HarrisLocated in St. Louis, MOJamie Harris straddles the disciplines of painting and glass blowing approaching his work, “more from a painterly perspective than as a traditional glassblower.” His work is primarily about something simple: ”loud splashes of color, capturing the innate way glass transmits, reflects, and absorbs color.” The viewer often witnesses this sensitivity through a number of techniques and forms that Harris has mastered: “from the strictness of my blown work to the organic looseness of my fused panels,” he uses color systems and theory to develop his forms. Yet the other critical layer to Harris’s work is expressive and visceral. The colors are intended to imprint an immediate emotion on the viewer’s experience of his objects as a very direct experience of color. Harris also straddles divergent historical epoch’s: “I merge a classic Venetian sensibility with a modernist approach.” blending the look of Murano glass with Twentieth Century modernism as typified by the Bauhaus, Harris hybridizes the functionality of vessel and the aesthetics of sculpture. Jamie Harris also teaches at UrbanGlass, in Brooklyn, NY. He has studied at the most prestigious glass studios in America: The Pilchuck Glass School, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Penland School off Crafts, the Haystack School, and the Corning Museum of Glass and Tiffany & Co.
