Nashville Glassblowing is a glassblowing studio and art-instruction business located in Joelton, Tennessee, in the greater Nashville area. The studio describes its work as crafting “high-end, stylish artistic glass pieces,” and it combines a working glass studio with hands-on classes, custom commissions, and glass repair services for individuals and groups in Music City.
Services
The studio offers a mix of instruction, custom work, and finishing services, including:
- Glassblowing classes for all skill levels, with sessions ranging from one hour to multi-night formats
- Custom glass orders, including chandeliers, vases, flasks, and architectural components
- Repairs, plus cutting, drilling, and grinding services for glass
- Group and team-building experiences
- Handcrafted finished pieces such as paperweights, tumblers, glass flowers, and sculptures
Classes are structured to accommodate beginners as well as more experienced students, and the studio takes on custom commissions that range from decorative objects to architectural glass elements. In class, students can create pieces such as paperweights, tumblers, glass flowers, drinking glasses, and Christmas ornaments. The studio also lists a “Date Night” class option and a one-hour Private Tutoring session for one-on-one instruction. Most classes require a minimum of two participants, though single participants can call the studio to join an existing class. Instruction covers the tools, the glassblowing process, and its history, with an emphasis the studio describes as “safety, successful project creation, and making lasting memories.” Because finished glass must cool gradually, pieces require up to 15 hours of cooling time and are typically ready for pickup the following day.
About
Nashville Glassblowing was established in 2017. The studio is owned by Michael Allison, who brings 30 years of glassblowing experience. Beyond glass, the studio notes his background in CAD design, mold making, metal casting, welding, and related crafts, which support the custom and architectural work the studio takes on. This combination of skills allows the studio to handle both artistic pieces and more technical fabrication projects.
