Wheel Cut

These rare works of art are formed on many stages and layers. Jeffries Glass is inspired by patterns and designs that we find in nature and architecture. We are drawn to the tactile surface that each piece has from the cutting technique.  The technique is called incisio. It is a cutting process that involves days of carving into the surface of the glass. Using a series of diamond wheels that are mounted to a lathe, allows me to cut into the piece giving it a unique pattern. Cutting deep into layers of colored glass, they began to let light through as the design takes form. This unique process gives each piece a distinct personality and voice.
