Product Details

Clover Product ID: 7HW0ZGAC4E2Y8

Cups measure approx. 5" tall, 3" wide.

Jimbo Cups was created in June of 2017 by Benny Hill and Jimbo Graham, who first met in 2004 at Colorado State University, where they were both students in the art department, with a focus on sculpture.

Energized by what an amazing educational experience Pilchuck had been, Jimbo and Benny teamed up to make cups in 2017. Using Benny’s expertise in maker space settings, the two created molds using emergent technologies, such as 3D printing and CNC machining. Glass would then be blown into these molds using the same glass-blowing technique the Romans had used thousands of years before. Benny and Jimbo have both attended Pilchuck Glass School every summer since 2017, both as students and staff. What they learn from the masters at the school is translated into what they share with you at Jimbo Cups. Benny and Jimbo feel that their unique collaboration, incorporating the fine arts with new technologies and fabrication techniques, continues to lead to joyful and meaningful interactions and experiences, which they hope to share with you through their designs at Jimbo Cups.
