Glassblowing intrigues me, so I seek out glassblowers wherever I visit. Asheville has a large artist community, so finding top-notch glassblowers was not hard. After finishing the tour of the Biltmore, we headed to Lexington Glassworks.
At Lexington, the resident glassblowers create one of a kind glass blown pieces and custom lighting pieces. There are no glass blowing classes at Lexington, just five dedicated, skilled glass blowers and two shop assistants creating beautifully inspired glass. Read >

The art of glass blowing is on fire in Asheville.
Asheville’s beer scene may have earned the small Southern city ample attention in recent years, but its deep roots in studio arts have been the main draw for decades. This summer, Asheville celebrates and shares its great love of glass with a special exhibition at the Biltmore Estate and plenty of glass blowing — and taps flowing — all around town.
