Flame Run Glass Studio and Gallery features the largest glassblowing studio in the region and the only exclusively glass gallery representing glass artists from across the country as well as internationally. The facility includes individual studios and a gallery, a family room with a kitchen, and a basketball court out back. The facility has a hot shop on one side of Flame Run, and the exhibition gallery is on the other side.
Opened by co-founders Brook Forest White, Jr. and fellow artist Susie Slabaugh White in 2005, the gallery is located in Louisville’s East Market Street Arts District. Other resident artists work at the hot shop as well. In keeping with Brook and Susie’s ambitions, the studio has become a center of contemporary art glass creativity in the American heartland, a slower-paced, easier-living alternative to New York and Seattle, where the form has developed and prospered. At 13,000 square feet, the glass-making hot shop and adjoining gallery and workrooms make Flame Run one of the largest art-glass facilities in the country.
The studio also teaches classes and workshops as well as offers after-hours group outings in the facility. Visit the Flame Run website for more information about the studio and artwork.
