Glass & Steel Artists
Loretta Eby received her BFA in Glass from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1981, with minors in Printmaking and Drawing. She continued her education at the Penland School of Crafts, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and the Pilchuk School of Glass. During this time, she focused her talents on hot glass, while working in and managing several studios. She opened her own glass-blowing studio in north Georgia in 1985.
Jeff Jackson has been involved with glass for 27 years and is entirely self-taught. He owned studios on the Oregon coast and in north Florida before moving to Georgia in 1985.
Loretta and Jeff joined forces in 1984 and this collaboration resulted in a new presentation of glass-and-metal sculptures, which are highly prized in many personal and corporate collections. This award-winning team continues to produce innovative glass designs and sculptures, which are currently exhibited in over 300 craft shops, galleries, and museums throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia.
