Spotlight on JEFF ZIMMER











We caught up with Jeff Zimmer, a Washington Glass School alum, when he visited from Scotland. Jeff was a teaching assistant, (back in the day) and was one of the artists in our incubator program. Jeff went to Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland and received his Masters of Design, Architectural Glass in 2005. This past September, he was one of the artists in the British Glass Biennale.

His glass artwork had early on received much attention, including Judith Schaechter listing Jeff as one of 10 glass artists to watch in an article in Glass Magazine (Fall 2003).





“images are built through multiple firings on many layers of glass, allowing an opacity and range of tones not often found in stained glass and permitting the object to ‘move’ as the layers shift in relation to each other with the movement of the viewer.” Jeff Zimmer
