Adeye Jean-Baptiste, Glass Art
About Adeye
Adeye Jean-Baptiste is a recent graduate of Alfred University, where they received their BFA. The core of their practice is rooted in community. This has led them to co-facilitate the GEEX community table group and co-create Alfred University’s Black Glass Artist series. During their travels, they have worked at a variety of studios: Firebird Community Arts, Starworks, Penland School of Craft, and The Corning Museum of Glass.
We first worked with Adeye Jean-Baptiste in late 2024 as they were wrapping up a residency at Pittsburgh Glass Center. They wanted photos to document the work they created, so a friend and client, Annabelle Javier of Paul Wissmach Glass Company (and a PGC board member), recommended us. Fun fact: Did you know that 85-90% of our work every year comes from personal referrals and recommendations? But I digress.
What we love about working with Adeye:
They bring fun and playfulness to their creative practice.
They hold a special place in our hearts as having the first official session in our in-progress home studio, Studio 8000.
They go out of their way to make you feel seen. When Nathan walked into their class at PGC this summer, they recognized him and stepped away from what they were doing to say hi and share some specific feedback about the photos he’d previously taken. (Their work was accepted into New Glass Review, and the review specifically noted the quality of their images in the acceptance notification.) Nathan has several credits in NGR over the years but never tires of hearing “my work got into this thing because you took such a great photo of it.” That’s why we’re here!)
Kind words from Adeye
“If you need any photos taken, I can not recommend them enough. They are some of the best!!! Some of the kindest people you will ever meet who can work with artists at any stage of their careers!!”
We are so glad that Adeye was enjoyed her photos and experience in 2024 so much that she brought a bunch of work from Brooklyn to be photographed in 2026.
