What happens when an American BFA student graduates with a degree in painting and jumps into co-running a stained glass shop in the South?
This! He carves out his own path.

bio
- Avery Shaffer is a multi-dimensional glass artist and designer based in Norfolk, VA. No, he doesn’t blow glass. Stop asking. His work is fired in a custom made kiln bigger than your mother’s Mercedes S-class. Although originally trained as a painter, Avery began experimenting with kiln formed glass in an effort to salvage the ridiculous amount of waste created by his day job of making stained glass windows for the bourgeois. You can learn more about his work at www.averyshaffer.com For the boogie set check out http://www.ellenburgandshaffer.comBorn in Charlotte, NCLives and works in Norfolk, VAEDUCATION1994 BFA in Painting/DrawingEast Carolina UniversityWORKCo-owner Ellenburg+Shaffer Glass Art Studio1997-Present2005-2009 Pluto GalleryGroup Exhibitions
