Emily Powell - Glass

Emily Powell is a North Carolina native who moved from Carrboro to Asheville in 2012. She went to UNC Asheville with the intention of studying speech therapy but by chance took a 30 minute walk-in class at the North Carolina Glass Center. She fell in love with the medium of glass and has worked diligently to become a career glassblowing artist.

Emily currently resides in Sylva, NC. She is a full-time artist and is a graduate student at Western Carolina University pursuing a Master’s degree in entrepreneurship. She blows glass at the Jackson County Green Energy Park in Dillsboro, NC. Additionally, she has a home studio where she works with borosilicate glass to create marbles, pendants and other items.

In addition to creating work at the Green Energy Park, she also teaches beginner classes in both the hot shop and lampworking studio. Please contact her at emilypowellglass@gmail.com to schedul a class.
