Jeffery Correia

Jeffery Correia Glass Art is of the highest quality and most elegant designed Art Glass I've had the pleasure to see and own. It's allure is the visual aesthetic of color, form and tactile sensation yet it is the perfect marriage of art and function. These pieces beg to be held and used.

Jeffrey Correia is an artist in tune with contemporary Art Glass, equally at home on the Glass-blowing floor he leads a group of talented artisans to create stunning works of art. His avant-garde design statements help keep Correia Art Glass in the forefront of studio art glass. He and his sister Algerine cherish being able to create their own designs for the retail market and for one-of-a-kind commissions.

The skilled artisans for Correia Art Glass use the freehand blowing techniques and tools of centuries past while applying new technology that produces superior results. Liquid glass, pulled from the furnace’s 2600 degree Fahrenheit inferno on to long stainless steel pipes, is blown and twirled and worked in an artful silent ballet of hot glass applied to hot glass.
