Fuhrman Glass Studios - Tom Fuhrman

Tom Fuhrman

Fuhrman Glass Studios is located in the beautiful hills of Cannon County in Tennessee. Fuhrman Glass Studios is owned and operated by glass artist Tom Fuhrman. He’s been working in glass since 1974. Prior to 1999 he was operating a hot glass studio part-time in northeastern Indiana.

Tom FuhrmanAt the age of 50, Tom and his wife moved to Woodbury, TN after reading about it in John Villani’s 100 Best Art Towns of America. Tom decided to pursue his life passion after he and his wife saw an episode of Oprah about people in their retirement doing the exact same thing.

I got a chance to meet Tom at his Short Mountain Studios a few times and watch him create these beautiful works of art.
