Accepting New Commissions
ABOUT US
We design and create unique, functional, kiln-formed glass for healthcare facilities, universities, public art and more.
Using our custom-built kiln, we fuse glass, then paint each piece by hand. This results in glass that has a distinct texture and water-like surface. With our organic color palette, our signature style is unmistakable.
Our studio is located in the historic waterside town of Norfolk, Virginia, close to the idyllic Chesapeake Bay. Avery Shaffer also shares his passion for glass as an adjunct instructor at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio.
As founders and owners, we have been designing glass together for over 20 years. We work with all types of clients and we welcome collaborative projects.
Client Reviews
“I wanted to tell you that this morning we toured with a donor and she said, “This is the most beautiful donor board I have ever seen.” Everyone loves it!”
“The glass medium offers such a wonderful opportunity to evoke emotion through color and texture while also accomplishing the task at hand, which is ultimately to provide recognition for the public support that makes our mission possible.”
