Art Glass Wall Sculpture
by Christopher Jeffries

Blown Glass

Hand-sculpted round forms are produced using a variety of wood, steel and cork tools. After they are cooled in the annealing process, they are sealed, polished and sandblasted. The final step involves applying a protective coating. 

The rock wall installations are inspired by the river beds along the Russian River, located in Northern California. Unique, fluid shapes that organic forms take on, and the textured surface that glass can have invites the viewer to come closer. I enjoy the challenge of making each form different in shape and size, and choosing a color pallet that creates a mood. Using color, I can create pathways to lead the viewers eye, and the empty space becomes the simple beauty in the overall composition.

 

 

Christopher Jeffries Art Glass

Christopher Jeffries distinct designs embody the true beauty of hand-blown glass art. After graduating from Chico State University with a degree in Fine Art, he studied sculpture and design at Lorenzo De Medici in Florence, Italy. Following his true passion of hand-blown glass art, Christopher joined Haystack School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Mane were he studied under Sonja Blomdahl, a specialist of the incalmo technique. To further his knowledge and experience, Christopher enrolled at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina to train under Katherine Gray.

His passion for blowing glass led him to the Czech Republic—a country known for their rich traditions in hand blown glass art. Through a apprenticeship with master glassblower Igor Muller, Christopher gained even more knowledge of the fine techniques and designs that continue to inspire his career as a glass artist. These many experiences earned the recognition of Dale Chihuly, with an apprenticeship at the prestigious Boat House in Seattle, Washington.
