This place is amazing! I know that gets said a lot, but it truly is. I highly recommend looking through the gallery even if you don't intend on purchasing anything. They have some extremely impressive pieces that made me stop and wonder just how the artist made them. The shop is nice and clean and has the prices where you can clearly see them. There is a public restroom in the shop for customers. Careful with the little kids in this shop. Almost everything is accessible to the customer and that could result in a lot of damage! The workshop has everything where the general public can go and watch them make the different items. They show pretty much the entire process. There are some of the workshops that you can sign up for (paid) and participate in. Make sure that you sign up ahead of your visit, drop-ins will be almost impossible. The classes are done with a lot of respect for the student that has no knowledge and they are polite and friendly. They will work with you to get you a special design if you want to pay for it. They do ship their products around the world. Cash and cards are acceptable...
Read moreSo fun! If you come to Lincoln City Oregon then this is one of the most fun adventures you can do. A local artisan will take you step by step through the process of blowing your own glass float or bowl. Make sure you schedule your appointment, they are usually booked out for quite a while. You need to realize that your float will have to cool overnight and will not be ready to pick up until the next morning when they open at 10:00 am. They will give you protective eye and hand gear to wear. They also ask that you don't wear flannel... flannel is flammable. You can also have someone along to take pictures of your event. You will be asked to choose up to 4 colors for your float. Make sure to ask your instructor what happens to your colors as they combine in the float, some colors, like yellow or green will turn ugly when mixed with certain colors. Your instructor will talk you through the process and inform you of many interesting things about the art. It takes a long time for these glass blowers to be proficient and they will help you make one of the best souvenirs you will...
Read moreIf you're not careful you can spend a lot of money at the Lincoln City Glass Center. The staff are very friendly and are happy to answer any questions.
We had two of our kiddos assist in making two glass jelly fish paper weights. The glass blowers were very professional and kind with the kids. They explained the process as they worked and had the kids help where they could without it being dangerous. The kids picked the colors and then went to work on forming their chosen object. It was very cool. They provide gloves, protective eye wear, and sterilized the glasses between uses. They have you hand sanitize prior to putting on the gloves. It was very clean considering the times we find our selves in with COVID-19.
The glass shop has an assortment of objects of every kind, very beautiful, fascinating, and awesome. Our favorites were the floats. There are small, medium, and large floats. They also have wooden stands with lights to set them on, we highly recommend purchasing one to go with your float.
Over all we highly recommend stopping by the Lincoln City Glass Center. Very...
