Asher Holman grew up in San Francisco and was first exposed to glass-blowing at Public Glass, a local arts non-profit, when he was 16. Drawn in by the dynamic community of artists and the physicality of the medium, he began down the road of pursuing a career as a glass artist. In 2017 he received his BA at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, with a major in studio art focused in glass. While at Centre he studied under and worked for the world renowned glass artist Stephen Rolf Powell, a major influence and mentor for Asher. Throughout his college years he attended summer classes at Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, worked as an intern for Public Glass, and learned from a master glassmaker in Murano, Italy. After graduating, Asher moved to Asheville where he was employed as a professional glass artist for six years. In 2023 he opened his own studio, Small Batch Glass.
