About the Glass Academy

The Glass Academy is the creative brainchild of founding artists Chris Nordin and Michelle Plucinsky. Often times you will find them in the studio directing the shows, the displays or working on custom orders for clients worldwide. The Glass Academy is a family run and operated glass studio located in Dearborn, Michigan since 2004 with a team of dedicated individuals making it happen.  

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

The creative duo has attended workshops from Maine to Seattle to perfect their glass skills in addition to teaching at professional levels, traveling to work abroad in Italy, and running a production studio at the Henry Ford Museum.

Currently, the studio has taken their shows to a live platform on Facebook and Youtube offering FREE live glass demonstrations and products available for purchase during the Covid pandemic with their 2 children joining the family business.  Read more about their adventures on the Blog page of this website.
