Artist Dave Jordan

Welcome to Memorials In GlassTM

Unique Reflections of the Life and Spirit of Your Loved One.

I started lamp working in 1990 in the pristine beauty of the San Juan
Mountains in Southwest Colorado. Influenced by the early Venetian glass
artist masters, I bring my love for nature and fantasy to create unique
contemporary glass creations. I work with one of the finest glasses in the
world, Pyrex from Corning, New York. New technologies have made it possible
to work fine colors into this sturdy durable glass. The glass is brought to
temperatures reaching 2000 degrees Fahrenheit to be shaped into forms that
eventually become the beautiful unique sculpture and memorials that are my
one of a kind trademark. I perfected the technique for Memorials In Glass in
the early 1990's through requests from my friends who had recently lost loved
ones and who had wanted me to make a unique remembrance of their life. I
recently developed an innovative pendant design that accentuates the
memorials in glass technique perfectly, and along with my classic double helix
marble design, I introduced Memorials In Glass to the larger public in 2006. I
feel that my work is not just about creating a piece that provides a memorial
for people, but the process acts as a step for healing and joy towards
remembrance of the loved one who has passed on.

Further bio: Dave was a featured artist in the Robert Redford Sundance
catalogue, and has the distinction of having his one of a kind marbles in the

He has studied under the glass masters Roger Parramore, Sue Ellen Fowler, and
Lewis Wilson. He provides lessons and demonstrations for visitors and lovers
