Stuart Glassman Ceramic Studio
Stuart Glassman Ceramic Studio - Take a class or workshop, join as a studio member, exhibit your work
The latest expansion of the Ceramic Studio includes a new Members’ Area, offering 24/7 studio access for ceramic artists while creating separate workshop and classroom spaces. This enhancement supports both professional and recreational potters by providing a focused, well-equipped environment for artistic growth.
Key upgrades include:
- Additional Upgraded Skutt Kiln capable of larger works and Cone 10
- New slab roller, doubling capacity for hand-building projects
- Additional Brent CXC wheels, expanding opportunities for wheel-throwing
- Expanded work tables, wedging stations, and storage — more than doubling members’ space for tools, materials, and works-in-progress
Located at 2015 Asheville Highway, the Studio is designed for accessibility, with ample parking, a loading dock, and ramp access. Members of the Stuart Glassman Ceramic Studio also benefit from exclusive opportunities to exhibit their work at the Art League’s new Art Place Gallery, located in Hendersonville’s 7th Avenue Historic District — the city’s emerging arts hub.
Beyond member access, the Studio offers opportunities for artists to teach and take classes, building a robust cycle of creative exchange. The Art League is also expanding its team of studio assistants to support the growth of programs and maintain safe, professional facilities.

Where did the name, Stuart Glassman Ceramic Studio, come from?
A generous funding commitment from Barbara Glassman made it possible for the Art League to fully launch the Stuart Glassman Ceramic Studio in Hendersonville. Additional support from the Community Foundation, the Arts Council of Henderson County, NC Arts, and the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority allowed us to upgrade electrical systems and install new equipment—creating the fully equipped facility we have today.
Barbara’s husband, Dr. Stuart Glassman, was a beloved physician in Hendersonville and a gifted clay artist. He was known not only for his surgical skill, but also for his deep compassion. He devoted countless hours to serving patients at the Free Clinics and Blue Ridge Community Health Services, and his private practice never turned away those in need of care, regardless of their ability to pay.
The Art League is honored to carry forward his legacy by providing a space where others can experience that same joy through clay. Thanks to Barbara Glassman, the Stuart Glassman Ceramic Studio now stands as a tribute to her husband's artistry, compassion, and enduring spirit.
