Welcome to our studio!

Charlottesville locals Maria DiMassimo and her daughter, Cara DiMassimo, are the co-owners of The Glass Palette. Their shared passion for the arts, backgrounds in education, and love of art glass inspired them to open their doors in 2004, creating a working studio dedicated to sharing their knowledge and creativity with the community.
Now celebrating 22 years in business, Maria and Cara continue to welcome visitors into the colorful, hands-on world of glass art. Whether you’re discovering the studio for the first time or returning to create something new, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space where imagination is encouraged and people of all ages can explore their creativity. Visit the gallery, sign up for a class, or stop in to create a glass masterpiece of your own!
