Last weekend surfboardbuilders.com hosted a show of the incredible colored glasswork being produced by Greg Webster. Greg is pictured here standing below a Jim Phillips longboard with his handiwork.
The showing, complimented by great BBQ and the sounds of Joe Wood and the Lonely Ones (aka Joe Woods from TSOL http://www.myspace.com/joewoodandthelonelyones), was a way of getting the word out about his talent and setting the bar still higher for artwork on surfboards.
On display were boards shaped by mastercraftmen like Jim Phillips and Hank Warner. Between cooking and organizing Greg took some time to explain the process to the folks in attendance.
Instead of the normal tint work, Greg uses individual pieces of colored cloth to build his designs. As you can see his work is on a whole different level.
The work in the pipeline that didn't make the show is even more beautiful. If you're interested you can have Greg do the glasswork art on any board on our site. Give us a call for details... or you can just order your board without a design and then we will work out the design and cost over the phone.
