Stunning multi colored hand blown glass bowl. Carved over the entire surface of the piece. Wonderful stripes of color you can get lost in.
The Caldera Series of bowls is named for volcanoes all over the world. These pieces begin as semi spherical bowls made with a unique technique, but are turned slightly to the side, and then over the entire outside surface. This gives the impression of hardened lava while the center remains open, active and transparent.

Mosaic: Building the mosaic is the starting point of the glassblowing process and the culmination of a tremendous amount of work and planning. Making the mosaic is the most creative part of the process, where Jeffrey decides on the colors and their placement in the finished piece, resulting in the specific color interactions. Jeffrey creates each element of the mosaic first, using various techniques to make the bands, squares, and patterns that make up the final design.
Carving/Cold Sculpting: Carving and cold-sculpting takes place after the piece is completely cooled from the glassblowing process. Jeffrey looks for ways to accentuate and distort the color interactions. He uses all manner of grinding and polishing tools to achieve the different patterns and textures.
Glassblowing Process: The traditional glassblowing process is the interpretive phase of creating Jeffrey’s work. The mosaic is sculpted while hot onto the end of the blowpipe, and from there he proceeds with traditional glassblowing methods to form the piece into an egg, bowl, vase or other kind of sculpture.
