Jeff Clapp and Wendy Rawson live along the seacoast in Brunswick, Maine, they are Bells From Everest.
A 1985 graduate of Johnson & Wales University and Trustee Award winner, Jeff has worked as professional
chef and ice sculptor in New England for the past twenty years. Having had a lifetime enjoyment of art,
an exuberant and creative nature he developed an interest in wood turning. In 1998 he was elected
President of the Maine Woods Turners Association and in 1990 Chairman of its Board of Directors. His
woodturnings have been sold through galleries in Maine and New York with pieces purchased by corporations
in Japan and the United Kingdom. Jeff's work took a turn in a different direction in 2004 when he set
off on the adventure of a life time. Jeff traveled to Nepal on an ecological mission to clean up Mt.
Everest. Jeff returned with 132 old oxygen cylinders used and discarded on summit attempts of Everest
and is now marketing the bells he creates from the cylinders and inspiring others to reach for their goals.
In 2005 Jeffrey was a featured artist at the Telluride Mountain Film Festival and in 2007 a presenter at
Disney's Holidays Around The World.
