The people behind the project
Jason Harris is the president and founder of Jerome company. SLX, the smoking product marketplace, has placed him among the top 10 glassblowers of the world. He established the company in the early 1990s. Over the years, he has made customized pieces for several celebrities, including Snoop Dogg, Grateful Dead, George Clooney, Bita Marley, and Santana. He sees lots of opportunity in this new crypto-connected digital art world. According to him, artists have always faced problems when it comes to authenticating their artwork. NFTs solve this problem and provide a certificate and proof of authenticity. It creates long-term value for the artist.
The uniqueness of glassblowing
According to Jason, other art forms like paintings can be copied or replicated, but glassworks made with the glassblowing technique can never be replicated. With NFT, each glasswork will have a documentary record of its creation. It will provide a foolproof authentication certificate and benefit both the artist and the buyer.
Bong NFT owners will get real-world advantages like glassblowing classes. They can visit the Jerome company’s Dream Factory in Las Vegas.
