Reid and Stephanie have been a business team since early 2020 when they decided to pursue opening their own art studios and contemporary art gallery. Now, in 2023 they are expanding their art careers to include consulting services to better aid their local Franklin community as well as emerging full-time artists.
Reid Jacobs is an American artist who works primarily out of glass. For over ten years, Jacobs has worked to master the craft of blowing glass to express his ideas of design and function through the medium.
Jacobs studied glass and graphic design while attending The Cleveland Institute of Art where he received his BFA in 2016. Jacobs then completed his apprenticeship at the Pittsburgh Glass Center where he learned, not only to become a better glass worker, but how to maintain a studio at a high level.
In 2020 Jacobs focused on opening his own studio where he designs, builds, and runs the glass studio. With his knowledge of the material and studio functionality, Jacobs Glass Studio aims to be a state-of-the-art glass studio which creates any glass work imaginable. In 2022 Jacobs opened the Coria Jacobs Gallery where many of his works, as well as the works of other contemporary artists, are displayed.
Jacobs has worked with glass artists such as Kenny Pieper, Rob Levin, Dante Marioni, and dozens of other artists from across the country. His works are exhibited in countless collections across the US including: The Cleveland Museum of Art and S.O.F.A Chicago, Ferrari Gallery, and several other galleries and private collections.
