About NC Glass Center in Asheville, NC

We are excited to share that NCGC is expanding to a brand-new location - a state-of-the-art hot shop, flame shop, and gallery located in beautiful Black Mountain, North Carolina. This new studio is just a 20-minute drive away from our current location in the River Arts District, and it will be able to accommodate our ever-growing roster of artists and students. The estimated completion date of the Black Mountain site is early 2024. NCGC is dedicated to providing the highest quality glass art instruction and equipment available. Our current River Arts District location is running at capacity and will continue to offer classes, equipment rentals, and retail space. Our new Black Mountain location will be the perfect addition to our already successful studio, allowing us to reach even more aspiring glass artists and expand our reach.
