Grateful Glassworks was created to share the art of borosilicate flameworking with anyone curious enough to try it. Founded by local glass artist Blake Rolfe, the studio offers hands-on classes, live demonstrations, and a rotating gallery of functional and sculptural glass art—all within a welcoming, community-centered space in Chattanooga.
Whether you’re looking to try something new, refine your skills, or simply watch the process up close, our studio is designed to make glassblowing accessible and inspiring. We believe creativity grows best in good company, and we’re proud to be building a space where people come together to learn, create, and connect.
