Jared Davis was born in New York City and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. He has spent the last 25 years working with blown glass, beginning at K Dahl Glass Studios. In 1995, Davis was introduced to Swedish glass masters, Jan-Erik Ritzman and Sven Åke Carlsson, who invited Davis to study with them in Transjö, Sweden, for two years.The apprenticeship ended in July 1998. Davis then returned to Crawford, Colorado with his family to become an active glass blower and designer for K Dahl Glass Studios. In 2001 Jared started his own business, Davis Glass. This summer Jared and his wife opened North Rim Glass Studio, where they currently create fine art glass to send to galleries all over the world. When working with blown glass, he is working with a molten material, which follows a viscous path according to where it is hottest and coolest. During his apprenticeship, Davis mastered some of the more difficult shapes by learning to control the glass in its most difficult form. Jared is inspired by the vast beauty, by which he is surrounded, in western Colorado. Most of his works contain many earthen tones. By using his Fission technique that is layering numerous colors and using a special crackle process, he has created a recognizable design, which results in unique, one of a kind works of art.
