Floral Bouquet
I took a floral design class in college learning the basic techniques of arranging flowers in traditional styles. Since, I've been creating lampworked flowers and arranging them into bouquets that have been used for wedding bouquets, boutonnières, and center pieces. The process is such a challenge, but it's so fun!
The life forms that I have created are the lily, and hybrid tea rose. The scientific name of the lily is Lilium. The scientific name for the hybrid tea rose is rosa hybrid.

Biography Eva Shelley
Once you find something that truly moves you, it can enhance your personal life, encourage you to grow, and leave you wanting more. That's what glass does for me. It's my first love. It's given me life and joy. And I know that comes through in my work.
My name is Eva Shelley and I've been working with glass since 2000. I started by taking private lessons at the Crefeld School, a private high school in Philadelphia. I then took individual glass classes at Salem Community College in New Jersey. From there, I attended Temple University's Tyler School of Art, majoring in glass, and graduating in 2005 with a bachelor of fine arts (BFA). My focus at Tyler was furnace work, and also learned both hot and cold casting, as well as fused and slumped glass.
Since graduating, I have been a freelance glass artist, creating glass art and glass jewelry. I've worked on a variety of different projects including pieces of jewelry for loved ones, glass sculptures for events, and company gifts for employees. Learn more about what I offer
