April 2025: Jerri Bartholomew - Paté de Verre & Kiln Formed Glass

Jerri Bartholomew is a microbiologist and artist. She uses glass as a medium to express the beauty of the natural world and to play with the ideas of form and function. Her topics often focus on ecology and the microbial world and she combines photographic screen printing and a variety of fusing, casting and cold-working techniques, inspired by a number of glass artists who have shared their vision and technique.
