Janet Zug

Colorful Glass

Janet Zug’s style is clean and classy with a playful feel. From her original hanging vase design and graceful Twister series to her dancing Jesters and happy Jubilant vases, she has captured this medium in a unique way. Janet’s life as a glassblower began with an apprenticeship in 1990. Now, Zug Glass creations can be found in fine galleries and private collections around our world. 

​

As Janet says,"There are so many things I love about glassblowing, First there’s the hot stuff itself, what a crazy medium to play with! Then there’s the challenge of executing high quality work from this pot of hot goo. I never get tired of it because it’s always changing. Blowing glass is the best part, of course, but being a productive business person is equally as important as designing work that I am proud of."

​

Having the freedom and ability to make bright and cheerful creations is very satisfying but my highest compliment is the feeling of joy people have when they experience beauty through a piece of my work. Using deep jewel-tones, I strive to create functional designs that inspire happiness."
