Item Description

Beautiful fused glass earrings and necklace.

Chris Jeffrey has been working with glass for over fourteen years, although it was only about three years ago that he quit his day job as an attorney and opened a full-time studio in Barre, Vermont.  His stained glass windows are commissioned for homes, businesses and religious institutions in Vermont and beyond, by customers who appreciate his fine craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail and contagious excitement for the beauty of stained glass and the possibilities it offers.

Chris mastered stained glass craftsmanship at Lawrence Ribbecke Studios in Burlington, Vermont, where he apprenticed for a number of years.  To further develop his skills he has also take courses at the Studio Du Verre in Montreal and the Glasgow School of Art.  He draws inspiration for his work from sources ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright and Lous Tiffany, to contemporary European artists such as Ludwig Schaffrath and Brian Clarke.  He is adept at working in many styles, from realistic landscapes and traditional Victorian designs to colorful abstracts, and takes great pleasure in transforming his customer’s ideas into beautiful pieces of art.

In addition to stained glass, Chris also works with fused glass, melting layers of glass together to make bowls and plates, many of them incorporating etched designs that include spiritual symbols and Chinese calligraphy.  Chris’ fused glass jewelry, using multi-colored dichroic glass, is especially popular, selling in galleries throughout Vermont and the Northeast.
