(B. 1977)
Jeff started working with glass at the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana in the fall of 1996. After receiving his BFA in 2000 Jeff spent six years gaffing and designing work for production studios across the Southwest. Jeff has had the privilege of working and taking classes at Pilchuck Glass School, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and the Pittsburgh Glass Center, studying under notable artists such as Dante Marioni, Chris Taylor, and Davide Salvadore. Jeff’s most recent work combines traditional Italian influence with contemporary style and design. In 2006 Jeff re-located to the Northwest where he spends time creating his own work, and teaching classes at the Eugene Glass School, and the University of Oregon Craft Center. Recently Jeff was announced as a finalist for the 2008 Niche Awards and was asked to be Craftsperson in Residence for the creation of Pilchucks 2008 auction centerpieces. His work can be found in galleries, museums, and private collections throughout the United States.

Hello Jeff...Bob Ryneason here. Your work is looking great!! I hope all is going well with you and I hope to hear from you.
Take care...

Hey man, it's Justin. (from tejas) Not living in Texas anymore...whew, thank heavens. Still turning pole and making some wonderful sculpture. Working more with the solid stuff these days, as opposed to blown. I was always better with the solid stuff anyway. You, on the other hand, are a genius at the blown stuff. We should collaborate sometime. Hand-blown solid goofy sculpture vases or something. Glad to see you are doing well. Drop me a line.
