Priska Jacobs

Is a Swiss glass artist whose inspiration flows from the frozen beauty of the alpine world. In the mysterious stillness of glacier caves and beneath the shimmering surfaces of thawing mountain lakes, she captures fleeting moments with her camera — moments that are later reborn in her studio as kiln-cast glass sculptures. She shares how her artistic journey has evolved over the years, and how she has remained faithful to the clarity and purity of her icy muse.

Te Rongo Kirkwood

Is a glass artist whose 20-year practice explores light, form, and universal symbolism. Her sculptural work blends Māori cosmology, ancestral knowledge, and archetypal themes, bridging the metaphysical and contemporary. Recent pieces focus on shared experience, tradition, and transformation through installation and performance. She received the Corning Museum’s 38th Rakow Commission in 2024.

Narcissus Quagliata

Narcissus Quagliata is considered one of the most significant contemporary artists in glass. He has defined a new pathway for the art of glass and is best known for his spectacular artworks in public spaces, which have drawn worldwide attention. The Dome of Light: Wind, Fire, and Time is the largest illuminated glass dome in the world. It is situated in the Central Station of the newly built Kaohsiung Rapid Transit metro system and is a landmark that has now become a tourist destination in Southern Taiwan. His captivating glass dome for the entry rotunda of the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, designed by Michelangelo on the Roman ruins of the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, is well known for the use of light within the space to make manifest the movement and alignment of celestial bodies. His fine artworks in glass and his watercolors of the Archetypes and Mediterranean Treasures have been collected worldwide in museums and private collections. Most notably, these works are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum in New York; De Young Museum in San Francisco; Oakland Museum in California; Chrysler Museum in Newport, VA; Museo de la Granja de San Ildefonso in Segovia, Spain; and in the Southeast Cultural Foundation in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
