Jeffrey Auxer’s love for blown glass has spread throughout the area. His work hangs in resorts, galleries and homes, but perhaps his passion and reputation have traveled farthest because of his glassblowing ornament classes.
For 15 years, Jeffrey’s classes have given people of all ages an opportunity to create ornaments and experience the beauty of glassblowing from start to finish.
The process starts in the gallery, where participants pick the colors they would like to use, then guests move into the shop, where Jeffrey and an assistant guide each person through the process, ending with blowing the molten glass into a one-of-a-kind ornament. The process is simple and fun when guided by Jeffrey and his talented staff.
Fun For All Ages
Glassblowing artist Jeffrey Auxer’s imaginative and colorful creations are widely collected, but his hands-on ornament making classes are just as popular.
Making Memories
Emerson Rhoad, Max Hardy and Colton Rhoad enjoyed a fun afternoon creating one-of-a-kind holiday ornaments.
The glassblowing ornament classes are offered in November and December during afternoons and evenings, Tuesday through Thursday, and all day Saturday. The studio can accommodate small and large groups. Classes the week after Christmas have become a family tradition for some.
Classes are popular, and spots are limited, so reservations are required and must be scheduled by calling 443-513-4210 or in person. For more information visit JeffreyAuxer.com. CS
