Jim Sammarco

Jim Sammarco has been working with glass for over twenty years. He began his career designing patterns for stained and etched glass. In order to challenge himself in that medium, he learned to sandblast and fabricate leaded glass. This began a journey of glass knowledge and techniques that continues today.

After spending time in Murano, Italy, Jim moved to Seattle, Washington, to work at the boathouse for Dale Chihuly. Working there he learned from some of the most experienced glassblowers in the world

As Managing Artist for Hot Glass Works, Jim designs and coordinates the commercial and specialty work in addition to running the day-to-day operation of the hotshop and gallery.

He continually pursues the creation of new and unusual art in glass utilizing combinations of style and technique. Jim's abilities enable him to work closely with other local, national and international glass artists in his search for the truly unique.
