    About the Glass Academy

    The Glass Academy, located in Dearborn, Michigan since 2004, is a family-run and operated glass studio.

    The Glass Academy is the creative brainchild of founding artists Chris Nordin and Michelle Plucinsky. You can often find them in the studio--alongside their dedicated team--directing shows, creating displays, or working on custom orders for clients worldwide.

    With an extensive background in the glass arts including Bachelors of Fine Arts from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, and Alfred University in New York (respectively), Chris and Michelle have a wide resume of skills and job related experience that pushed them to open their own private studio and share their unique talents with the world.

    The creative duo has attended workshops from Maine to Seattle to perfect their glass skills, traveled to work abroad in Italy, run a production studio at the Henry Ford Museum, and and taught at the professional level.

    The studio's live shows moved to Facebook and Youtube during the Pandemic, offering free live glass demonstrations and products for purchase online.

    The glass studio in Dearborn is open to the public for classes, glassblowing demonstrations, shopping, and drinks. The YouTube live show and online shopping continue to be widely successful today!
