Jewels Durham
Jewels Durham's creations reflect the wild beauty and adventure of her Pacific Northwest home. Although her focus is on glass carving, Jewels has expertise in all aspects of glass art. Last summer, Jewels received a full scholarship to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning,N.Y. She has studied at the Pilchuck Glass School under four different masters. She has also apprenticed in beveling and traditional stained glass with master glass artist, James Powell and apprenticed in coldworking and blown glass under William A. Sargent. Jewels founded Wapiti Glass Studio in 1995 where she continues to create original designs and custom pieces. She enjoys collaborating with other artists of many media, combining her work with theirs to create new art forms. Through offering classes in sandblasting Jewels is able to pass on her expertise and passion for glass.
