How Artist Jen Elek Evokes Emotion Through Bold Color and Glass

In the summer of 2023, The Henry Ford welcomed internationally renowned artist Jen Elek to spend a week in the Greenfield Village Glass Shop. Jen brought her work of focusing on sculptural objects that display the material’s ability to reflect, magnify and represent bold color, to our Glass Shop. Here, she collaborated with our glassblowers to create objects demonstrating her unique approach to glassmaking. Hear from Jen about her experience at Greenfield Village in this video interview.
