More about J. Ryner
Mr. Ryner began his career as a lampworker by taking an apprenticeship in 1994. His art has continued to develop over the years and is distinguished by his use of precise color patterns on a combination of unique and traditional forms. His desire to achieve perfection is visible in each piece he creates.
For the past two years, Ryner has been exploring the evolution of color and the various ways it can be applied. The rapid growth in the development of colored borosilicate glass has made available new colors that can be mixed and blended to achieve a look never before seen in the lampworking industry. Borosilicate glass is highly affected by the gas/oxygen ratio of the flame, therefore a mastery of skills is necessary in order to work the colored glass effectively.
Currently, Ryner is utilizing his skill as well as the new colors in creating knobs and goblets. Along with hints of color he uses clear glass, with the intent of capturing light and illuminating the color. In making goblets and vessels, his acute attention to detail and focus on symmetry exemplify his revolutionary designs. Although Ryner’s work showcases a variety of ornamental pieces, he feels that creating goblets and vessels remains his true passion. “Making goblets and vessels allows me use a variety of techniques but most importantly I’m able to take a traditional form and make it my own.”
Through several years of trial and error in perfecting the art and science of lampworking Jason feels his work is ready to be made available to a wider public. His one-of-a-kind vessels, marbles, and goblets are highly recognized in his hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania where his first pieces were released in a local gallery in 2003. Numerous private collections boast Ryner’s art and he has been featured in newspaper articles and television programs. Jason and his wife Keysha, also a lampworker, currently reside in Lancaster with their two daughters Averi and McKenzi.
