The Asheville Glass Center opened in 2009 at the Phil
Mechanic Studios in Asheville's River Arts District. In March of 2011 we
expanded into a new location at the nearby Roberts Street Studios. We
currently have a Hot Shop and Cold Shop, in addition to the flameworking
studio. We provide instruction and equipment rental in off-hand
glassblowing, cold working and flameworking in both soft glass and
borosilicate. All of our equipment is available for rental by the hour,
week and month. We offer 2 hour, 3 hour, weekend and multi-session
workshops is all aspects of glassblowing. If you're short on time consider
our 1/2 hour walk-in hotshop workshop where you can make your very own
paperweight or cup for only $60! Please look at our class offerings or stop
by and visit the studio.
