STAR Collaboration at Eagle Hill

The STAR Collaboration (Students, Teachers, Artists-in-Residence) invites artists from visual, literary, musical, and performing arts genres to join Eagle Hill for a semester of focused art work, and to come together with our students and teachers to facilitate novel learning opportunities.

The STAR residency program is open to artists at any stage of their careers—emerging artists, well-established artists, art teachers, and artists returning to former careers in the arts. STAR artists are educators at heart, who want to work with students while expanding the definition of what being an educator means; who are interested in novel, interdisciplinary educational approaches; and who thrive on collaboration with others.

STAR Collaboration Welcomes Molly Jackson

Molly Jackson

Decorative and Functional Arts

Molly Jackson's current style of working with hot glass is spontaneous and improvisational. "I follow what the glass wants to do. I work with the way it cracks, breaks, and bends. While the glass is in the flame I search for the lines, shapes, and form that will best facilitate light and color to flow through the glass giving it natural rhythm and movement."

Since 2003, Molly Jackson glass jewelry and sculpture have been featured worldwide: in boutiques and magazines, on high-fashion runways, and worn by musicians and celebrities. Recently she has begun designing a new line of glass housewares.

She has taught locally at Worcester Center for Crafts, New Street Glass, and Snow Farm. Currently she is teaching at Technocopia Makerspace in Worcester, MA, where she has been the Glass Shop Steward and Instructor for 10 years.

“I came to Eagle Hill as a young playwright who had more or less given up on their creative practice. The greatest gift that the STAR residency supplied was time and space. Over the two years I spent around the Eagle Hill community, I revitalized my practice as a theater-maker and playwright and developed work that challenged standardized conceptions of what theater must be.”—Jeremy Geragotelis, playwright

“My experience at Eagle Hill as a STAR resident was exceptional. I was allowed to lead by example with my artistic practice and welcomed students into my studio space for private lessons or group workshops. The exposure to new disciplines and perspectives enabled me to grow both personally and professionally.”Suzanne Alward, Visual artist and Sculpturer

“The residency was a fantastic experience, both professionally and personally. I look back on pages 8 and 9 of Frankenstein, and can’t believe just a few months later I’m already working on pages 90 and 91. Impossible without the STAR program!”—Veronica Fish, Graphic Novel Author and Illustrator, Frankenstein 1921
