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.

Maker Spotlight

Yesterday, I stopped by Lexington Glassworks having strolled past their open door a few times a week on my way to my “go-to” yoga studio Go Yoga. Having arrived a bit too early I decided to finally step into the space. Wow! I had no idea how established of a venue it was. I could always see that the product was well crafted, but the space itself was equally and thoughtfully crafted, too. From layout to detail they have created a mindful experience around glass blowing making it a blend of retail, education and cool social space. I’ll refrain from saying a whole lot more, but simply encourage you to visit. Their own space and website tells their story better than I so I’ll step back and let them take over. If you haven’t been — GO. They have a beer on tap and a schedule for live music. Cheers!
