Howey<\/p>\n<p>With a commonality of purpose and a shared love for glass\u2014and with complementary yet distinctly separate skillsets\u2014Geoff Koslow and Billy Guilford <i>are<\/i> Lexington Glassworks. Billy has worked on the technical side of the industry, building and maintaining equipment, and Geoff has worked on the retail aspects focusing on marketing and selling direct to customers.<\/p>\n<p>Billy (from Cleveland, Ohio) and Geoff (from Richmond, Virginia) have been best friends since meeting at Alfred University in upstate New York where they each earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in fine arts. It was at Alfred that they both developed a love for working with glass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-1-copy_Square.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3503\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3503\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-1-copy_Square-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Featured Artist Lexington Glassworks\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>After graduating, they parted ways. Billy went to work as a head studio technician for the Pittsburgh Glass Center, a nonprofit school and glass studio in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Geoff headed to Texas where he worked for the Wimberley Glassworks, a handblown glass lighting and art glass studio located near Austin.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, they stayed in touch, and both took several classes at Penland School of Crafts in Western North Carolina. After being introduced to the region while at Penland, they knew that this is where they\u2019d like to start their own studio. Once they decided to do that, it all came about rather quickly and remarkably smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-3-copy_HOriz.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3504\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3504\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-3-copy_HOriz-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Featured Artist Lexington Glassworks\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Geoff moved to Asheville in 2013 and Billy followed the next year. They knew they\u2019d prefer being in the middle of the action in the downtown area, but weren\u2019t sure if that would be feasible. And then they discovered a 5,000-square-foot building that had for years housed Brown\u2019s Auto Repair at 81 S. Lexington Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was perfect,\u201d says Billy. What made it even better, from a city licensing standpoint for a glass studio, was that it was a stand-alone structure.<\/p>\n<p>The two went to work building all the equipment for the studio, including the large furnace that can hold up to 300 pounds of molten glass. They also constructed a gallery area, and recently installed a beer bar. \u201cWe hope the bar has regular hours this spring and can host functions throughout this next year,\u201d says Billy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3512\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-artists-copy_Vert.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3512\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3512\" class=\"wp-image-3512 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-artists-copy_Vert-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Featured Artist Lexington Glassworks\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geoff Koslow and Billy Guilford (Photo by Leah Shapiro)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe are branded as a company,\u201d says Billy, \u201cnot as individual artists.\u201d To which Geoff adds, \u201cWe collaborate on most everything, although some items are mine and some are Billy\u2019s in terms of aesthetics; but everything is sold as Lexington Glassworks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat being said, we definitely each have our own style and signature pieces, but you would have to come in and ask someone in the gallery to identify the pieces for you. Ultimately, we are building a company, something more than two guys making art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the inspiration side of his art, Geoff says, \u201cI am really obsessively process oriented. I love the act of blowing, shaping, and manipulating the glass. \u2026 I chase technique trying to understand and hone particular techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-8-_Square.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3510\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3510\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-8-_Square-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Featured Artist Lexington Glassworks\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Even though they just celebrated their one-year anniversary last month, they\u2019re already looking to the future. Geoff says, \u201cDecorative lighting is quickly becoming the focus of the company. People can come in and have custom lighting made for their homes, offices, and restaurants. We see the custom lighting market as an opportunity to grow our business in a unique way.\u201d Billy emphasizes, \u201cWe want to be the custom lighting resource for the Southeast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it\u2019s obvious the two are having a good time, and Lexington Glassworks is designed to share that enjoyment with the public. The large garage doors in the front roll up and the public is invited in to watch the creation of everything from paperweights and ornaments to elaborate chandeliers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-9-copy_Vert.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3511\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3511\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Feature_Artists-Lexington_Glassworks-9-copy_Vert-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Featured Artist Lexington Glassworks\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Billy and Geoff love the location midst the vibe of downtown Asheville and want you to stop by, pull up a stool, and watch the intricate and ancient art of glassblowing.<\/p>\n<p><i>Lexington Glassworks is located at 81 S.
