Eye and I Glass Jewelry

In addition to glassblowing and gardening, Eric Nelson (of Eye and I Glass) has a passion for recycling and protecting the environmental. This is what led him to create his line of glass jewelry.

He begins the jewelry making process by recycling shards of finished glass pieces that had broken for one reason or another. Eric selects the most interesting broken sections to bring back into the flame and polish off the edges for use as a necklace pendant. Because the glass piece is a small section of a larger work, each design is unique.

Eric began working with glass in the late 1990s and studied under glass artist and teacher Sally Prasch. Eric now operates his own private studio In Colchester, Vermont. His workshop features a full wall door, which he keeps open in the summertime, allowing the beauty and color of Vermont to help shape and inspire his work.
