Roadrunner Journeys | 48 Hrs in Asheville, NC, The Gilded Age of America and the Art of Glassblowing
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.

TravelChannel.com | Why Glass Means a Lot More Than Pints in Asheville
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.
