At the time, he had already found Asheville, but he and his partner Leslie traveled to San Francisco to try it on for size. \u201cWhat I found was that there did not seem to be the same type of glass\u2014or general\u2014art community that there is here in Asheville,\u201d Holman says. \u201cI did not feel like the market for my work, or what a shop like mine has to offer in terms of experience, was any better out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_61867\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61867\" class=\"wp-image-61867\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_8-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-61867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asher Holman, artist.

Last year, he opened Small Batch Glass, a working studio and gallery on Craven Street, across from New Belgium Brewing. \u201cI am producing work in my studio five days a week,\u201d Holman says. \u201cThe work ranges from custom-ordered to inventory for my gallery, and sometimes I\u2019m just experimenting with new ideas. A lot of artists that I admire spent their careers constantly producing work; I feel it is a really important part of getting ideas out as well as honing your skills and craft as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_61866\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61866\" class=\"wp-image-61866\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-810x601.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_7-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-1140x846.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-61866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asher Holman, artist. Photo by Caleb Johnson<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Holman discovered glassblowing as a restless 16-year-old attending a class at San Francisco\u2019s Public Glass, a non-profit public access glass studio and school. \u201cI was immediately hooked,\u201d he says. \u201cI signed up for as many classes as I could and volunteered to help out around the shop just to hang out there.\u201d When he began considering colleges, he had not yet decided to make art his career, but he knew that he wanted to find a school that would afford him access to a glass shop so that he could continue to explore the craft. He chose Centre College in Danville, KY, and spent the next four years there as a studio art major with a focus on glass. \u201cThe professor, Stephen Powell, was a world-renowned glass artist and became a very important mentor to me,\u201d Holman says. \u201cIn my time at Centre and in the years after, he really encouraged me and was so generous in bringing me into the world of being a professional glass artist.\u201d In Kentucky, Holman has work in two galleries: Trifecta: Glass \u2013 Art \u2013 Lounge, in Lexington, and Flame Run, in Louisville.<\/p>\n<p>After graduation, a job with Lexington Glassworks brought Holman to Asheville. \u201cI worked there for three-and-a-half years and learned a ton about what goes into being a full-time artist and running a business around it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_61868\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61868\" class=\"wp-image-61868\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-1024x611.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-768x458.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-810x483.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Feature-Artist-Asher-Holman_13-Asher-Holman-artist.-Small-Batch-Glass.-Photo-by-Caleb-Johnson-copy-1140x680.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-61868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Asher Holman, artist.
