THERESA JORGENSEN


As a young girl Theresa was raised in the southern, creative town of Seagrove, NC.  Her parents surrounded her with art and, through her love of horses, she had a deep affinity for nature.  She was exposed to many forms of art as a child but none caught her interest so she pursued a career in environmental science.  After receiving her degree from Sweet Briar College and starting a career as Planner she found her life to be missing its artistic element.  She first took a 3 hour glass class in Charlottesville, Va in 2008 and instantly fell in love with the medium.  In the next year she took several weekend long courses in Star, NC with her father and  was hooked.  The instantaneous results found in glassblowing as well as the challenge it created made a lasting impression on her. In the winter of 2010 she toured Smaland in Sweden, visiting several glass schools and finally chose Orrefors.  Orrefors provided a very strong set of basic skills as well as a survey of traditonal Swedish techniques.  As a trade school located in the glass factory, Orrefors provided a very unique experience different from an American art school which provided Theresa with a unique and special background to bring back to the states.
