After studying science at Iowa State University, Gerald
Patterson began to pursue his true passion in the high
country of Colorado. He completed his apprenticeship under
professional glassblower Garth Mudge at Glassworks Studio
& Gallery in Estes Park.
Breathtaking mountain vistas, lush alpine meadows, clear
rushing rivers and winter winds howling over snowy pine
forests offer Jerry abundant inspirations for his elegant
creations. Innovative, often experimental techniques give
his work a refreshing originality.
Jerry is a full-time artist at Glassworks Studio &
Gallery, where visitors are invited to watch as he
transforms red-hot molten glass with grace into unique
bowls, vases and ornaments.
When he isn’t blowing glass, Jerry may be found
hiking and mountain biking with his dog, Tundra, or dancing
to some good ol’ high country bluegrass.
