About Jack Alden:
Jack Alden’s artistry shines through each unique piece of his glass art. Jack works in a variety of styles, creating pieces that range from pendants to vessels, goblets, and his signature trees — each one a studio-crafted work of art. Originally from Burlington, Vermont, Jack blends his love of water, trees, snow, and elements of nature into his glass creations. Color, shape, and movement capture these themes.
Jack worked with glass for the first time in St. Petersburg, Florida under Dave Walker and Josh Poll. Soon after, he began learning about Chihuly glass, and sharing his knowledge as a docent at the Chihuly Collection. After his first time at Penland School of Crafts studying with Micah Evans, he moved to Richmond, Virginia where he took a position as Teachers Assistant for Christopher McElroy. Shortly after arriving, Jack opened a flame working studio where he rented space and taught lessons. After graduating from VCU, he continues to work with glass and push his artwork forward.
