Established over 30 years ago, A Touch of Glass is truly the grand-daddy of businesses in the East West Asheville Holiday Art Walk, and indeed in the entire neighborhood. Owner Gary Newlin has seen the ebb and flow of Asheville development from his vantage point on Haywood Road, and the work from Touch of Glass can be seen where ever you find original stain glass and other glass work design.
Among the many offerings at the shop at 421 Haywood Road: Stained Glass Supplies, Repairs, Glass Blowing, Glass Beads & Marbles, Etching-Trophies-Awards, Commissioned Glasswork, Commercial-Residential-Ecclesiastical and Classes.
Workshops have ranged from kiln-forming (fusing, casting), glass blowing, bead/marble making and lampworking. Gary Newlin always hosts a great event, and workshop participants rave about the shop and its owner. Advice from one participant: "If you go by, look in all the corners and dark places in the building. Gary has so many nice glass pieces tucked away all over the place."
