Hot Glass Alley is Charlotte’s first hot glass art studio. It’s at 438 Atando Avenue, Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s north of Uptown, between Graham Street and N. Tryon Street. It’s around the corner from NoDa Brewing.
The studio is owned by artist Jake Pfeifer, a young artist who has been blowing glass since he was 14 years old.
Hot Glass Alley offers a variety of glass vessels, small sculptures, functional pieces, seasonal gifts, and art glass objects in several unique series and forms, as well as one-of-a-kind & corporate gifts.

Hot Glass Alley will also offer opportunities, through lessons and workshops, for community members to try glassblowing.
