Jeffrey Chapline

After receiving his B.F.A. in ceramics from the University of Kansas at Lawrence in 1980, Jeffrey Chapline went on to study glassworking, receiving his M.F.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1984. He has been awarded two grants from U.C.L.A. and a fellowship from the Creative Glass Center of America. His work has been exhibited at galleries and universities around the country. Chapline works in cast glass by arranging objects in a sand mold, making a casting, and filling the mold with molten glass; he then makes still-life arrangements from the objects.
