Jeff Burnette
Artist’s Bio
Jeff
Burnette has been working in hot glass since 1979. In his
time, he has developed his own unique line of work including a stunning
line of stemware, larger works like the Incalmo Vessel series, and the
funky and unique “Raygunz”.
Jeff
studied at the Sheridan College of Art and Design in Ontario and has
participated in workshops at the Pilchuck glass school in Washington
State. He has also participated in numerous advanced glass
workshops, where he has worked with some of the top hot glass artists
in the world. In 1992 he was invited to France by CIRVA,
where he first met and worked with Lino Tagliapietra. Through
his intense study of glass, Jeff has mastered some of the most
difficult aspects of glass blowing and sculpture. He has
become one of the leading goblet makers in Canada, and has won numerous
awards for his outstanding talents.
After years of hard work, study
and travel, Jeff opened his own studio. The 2700
sq.ft. facility is located in the eastside warehouse district
of Vancouver, a thriving artist community. Through his
contribution to the glass community, Jeff hopes to raise awareness of
glass as a medium, and strengthen public appreciation for fine craft.
