Jelveh Jaferian![]() Jelveh moved to the US during the Iranian revolution in 1978, and her artwork is infused with a unique blend of colors, textures and themes from both Persian and American cultures. Her art form of choice has progressed from collage work to quilting, mosaics, clay and stained glass-each of which reflected her funky yet sophisticated style and attention to detail. Finally, in early 2001, her husband introduced her to her first lampworking kit and her artistic passion truly caught flame. She started torching beads in the end of her tiny kitchen about the same time she stopped cooking meals. Now known especially for her landscape focal beads and organic designs, her commitment to constant innovation is well known, and each bead, from shape to dimpled holes, is finished to exacting standards. Now if she could only provide the same attention to detail in other areas of her life, like house keeping. From the curly wild poof of hair on top of her head to her bubbly taskmaster personality in class, she is often told by her students that "she is the most fun teacher they've had" and they come away having learned a great deal about flameworking & glass." http://www.Jelvehdesigns.com http://www.jelvehdesigns.blogspot.com * The Glass Furnace reserves the right for the cancellation of the class. In that case, the course fee will be refunded |
