We are a warm glass working art studio in downtown Prescott owned by Cindi and Joe Shaffer offering open studio events and opening by appointment. Our work is shown at Art Squared in Prescott.
I, Cindi Shaffer, have an obsession with glass, learning the technical side and then using the glass medium to make art.
Living in Prescott since 2000 has been a big change from the Texas that I love. Inspired by the beauty here in Prescott, the surrounding area and worldwide travels, I incorporate my own photographs and drawings into my work via printmaking, mark making and layering of imagery.
Glass is naturally a pieced medium. My goal is to transcend this design necessity and add fluidity, layering and complexity. The idea is to see the design, to look into it, to build depth and to see the overall imagery as a whole, not each piece. Enamel painting, screenprinting, solar plate relief printing, nature prints and monotype techniques have expanded my visual vocabulary allowing the work to grow and change.
Joe Shaffer is a steel and mixed media artist. Collaborative sculpture and individual glass work are currently showing at multiple venues in downtown Prescott, Art2 Gallery at the Old Capitol Market on Gurley, ‘Tis Gallery, and Prescott Center for the Arts. Private showing at the 6th Street Studio are by appointment only. Feel free to contact me or view my website, www.cindishaffer.com, for additional information.
