Thoughts & Musings
concepts that came about along the way

Just as the Ball brothers capitalized on the lapsed patent of John Landis Mason’s perfect seal, there are new makers seeking modern innovation that mirror Ball’s historic and enterprising roots. THE MAKERS SERIES seeks to uncover fresh creativity within the heritage of a Ball jar. Each artist, craftsmen and entrepreneur interprets the utility of the Ball product in a unique manner; through this process we discover a new set of purposes. By examining how a brilliantly simple product can affect what we make and the way we make it, the next iteration of the Ball story begins to emerge.
