About Jacob Hunter

Jacob Hunter is a Spokane glass artist known for function-driven designs and a recognizable approach to recyclers and bubblers.

Growing up around flameworking through his father’s involvement with the Montage crew, Jacob developed largely through hands-on experience and collaborations with other artists. His work puts function first, with carefully designed water movement and forms that have become recognizable among collectors and fellow glassblowers.

More recently, he has expanded into linework, fuming, and faceting, adding greater visual complexity to the clean functional foundation of his work.

Jacob Hunter grew up in the shop. His dad was part of the Montage crew, so flameworking was always in the background, and eventually it stuck. Based in Spokane, Jacob is mostly self-taught beyond his father's influence, and says he learns the most from the collaborations he's been a part of.

His focus is function, full stop. He's built enough recyclers that his form has become recognizable, collectors and fellow artists can pick it out in a crowd. Lately he's been pushing into linework, fume, and faceting, adding more visual depth to pieces that already move water beautifully. You'll find his work at select shops across the country, including The Glass Cave in Montana.
