Spake Glass
Spake Glass
The studio of award-winning glass artist Thomas Spake, located on a picturesque 50-acre hilltop farm in rural Jasper, Tennessee, at the mouth of the Sequatchie Valley and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
Inspired by the surrounding rolling hills, hardwood forests, wildlife, and natural landscapes, Thomas creates one-of-a-kind hand-blown glass vessels, sculptures, ornaments, and functional art pieces. His work captures the colors, textures, patterns, and erosion of nature—think sun-dappled impressionist scenes, river pebbles, gardens, and wild spaces—transformed into matte-finished, often carved glass that feels both contemporary and timeless.
What Makes Spake Glass Special
- Every piece is handmade to order in his Tennessee studio—no two are exactly alike.
- Techniques blend traditional glassblowing with unique texturing and carving for a distinctive tactile quality.
- Available as treasure bowls, large sculptures, birthstone ornaments, and more—perfect for gifts, collectors, or special moments.
- Thomas also offers glassblowing workshops for ages 14+ (limited class sizes), sharing his 30+ years of expertise.
With a background that includes discovering glassblowing during his college days on a basketball scholarship, Thomas brings strength, precision, and passion to his art. His pieces have been exhibited in museums, galleries, and premier art festivals across the U.S. and shipped to collectors worldwide.
