Jeffrey Turner

Jeffrey V. Turner is a kiln forming glass artist based in Perth, Western Australia and Vienna, Austria. He has been kiln-forming glass since 2007.

His first interest in glass forming came about because as a student he did scientific glassblowing with pyrex glass. Influences that guide his work include Jugendstil geometric designs and mathematical generation and production of designs in glass.

Because he was trained in chemistry, he has a keen interest in developing new glass techniques and methods.

To realise his artistic expression he is currently developing "GlassBot", a computer-driven 2D glass printing technology that uses his development of special print heads to deliver glass powder or paste to create his artistic ideas.
