Gorge Glashaus at McMenamins Edgefield — Attraction in Troutdale

Beautiful art work, definitely 5/5 there, but I asked if they do custom work, and when one of the employees said "yes", I asked if they were able to do a sort of margarita glass with bubble glass, a blue rim and maybe some sparkles on the rim too.

But then she started commenting like "maybe you can look at an online website for Cabo, or however you pronounce it. I'm sure they would be willing to make a Mexican glass." And "that sounds... awful" and "I don't know why you'd ask an American to make a Mexican style glass" as my fiance and I were walking away, and got louder and louder and seemed like they were trying to make a point asking them if they wanted to help us with custom glasses? Idk. If they had a problem with asking if they could make a custom glass, I wish they'd be real about it instead of whatever else they were trying to convey.

They were all awesome, I loved seeing prices...

I started buying marbles and paperweights from Peter Neff at Portlands Saturday Market clear back in the late 1980’s. He is great. The studio has a nice selection of material. They are friendly and always willing to talk...
