Jeff has been a glassblower/artist for 20 years now. Jeff works for a local Virginia Beach glassblowing company full time and Ebay is his night/weekend job. You can check us out on the web at http://www.JEFFWELSHLAMPWORKDESIGNS.COM . Ebay has been a great opportunity for Jeff to showcase his talents and allow others to enjoy his work. Jeff loves to make different designs and is always wanting to change things up. Jeff currently creates various animals including sea dragons, sea horses, manatees, butterflies, horse heads, sharks and he will add more to his collection.

Jeff's work has been showcased on the cover of THE WET CANVAS 2005 GLASS ARTISTS CALENDAR. Jeff recently attended a week of glass classes, lectures, and demonstration at a BY INVITATION ONLY AGI Event in western Pennsylvania where he learned some new techniques.
