He has a robust teaching practice and has taught numerous workshops at world class institutions including: Penland School of Craft, Pilchuck Glass school, The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass and many others. He was a contestant on the Netflix show ‘Blown Away’ and through that exposure frequently collaborates with other artists and designers including Solange Knowles’ brand, Saint Heron, for whom Jason designed and fabricated a line of stemware which was reviewed favorably by the New York Times.
