The Henry Ford invites internationally renowned artists to spend a week in the Greenfield Village Glass Shop during the summer. The artist in residence collaborates with our glassblowers, creating unique objects that demonstrate their distinctive approach to glassmaking for our visitors. Each artist creates one work of art destined for The Henry Ford’s collection.

In June of 2022, artist Benjamin Cobb kicked off the summer program, where he experimented with abstract and elemental forms. Cobb's work explores the relationship between nature and human biology, and many of his vessels resemble internal organs or cells.
