“The real thing is not to make an absolute copy of nature but to know it so well that what one makes is fresh and true.”
- Vincent Van Gogh
Among the New England woods Molly Jackson observed and admired her surroundings while growing up. Taking lessons in color and form, she learned of natural beauty. At the early age of four Molly realized the importance of accessorizing, for example, choosing her pink gingham apron-dress to accompany her new pink drum set on Christmas morning.
At sixteen, Molly began to formally develop her creativity with studies in silversmithing and art history. Training for five years mainly in lost-wax casting of silver rings, she had an appropriate background for the new material she was about to discover. Molly confesses, “The first time I put glass in the flame, I fell in love! Glass has an amorphous structure and freely lends itself to the fluid lines of my modern designs, it allows me to give form to my ideas.”
She was caught between the subtleties of nature and her grand ideas of fashion but found balance in working with hot glass. After studying flameworking for three years, Molly established her studio. With her entrepreneurial spirit, a lifelong passion for the natural and an ongoing search for the perfect accessories the decision was clear; Molly combined her innate city style with her solid country grounding and began work on her first collection of glass jewelry. Molly has taken this ancient craft and has brought forth new, yet timeless, versatile pieces of wearable art.
The MDJ studio continues to design and produce jewelry that is in harmony with and embodies Molly’s personal fashion. Each hand shaped piece has personality, life and movement. She is continually experimenting with new applications for wearable glass, innovative Lacquerite and other unexpected, fresh materials for true style.
