Not a large place but glass blown on property by the husband and wife artists. They also feature several other artists work from around the state.

Self centered stuck up people is what I got. Nice art though. Not personable though. Work on your people skills or pretend to be nice. Thank you. Spent no money here!

Beautiful art but the most rude snotty person working. We were excited to visit based on YouTube video, not welcoming environment.

I loved visiting this art studio! The gentleman running the studio was very nice and took time to explain the processes of making glasswork, how color is added to the art work, the chemical composition of the glass, and how different heat sources affect the final product. His work is also incredible and worth seeing!

My mother, daughter and I visited this lovely glass studio last week. The owner spent quite a bit of time talking with us and we really enjoyed the conversation. He is a largely self-taught glass artist who has been working for decades in his craft. He shared interesting facts about the history of glass and had a very philosophical perspective about many different subjects. It's a lovely place to visit and if I return to Cannon Beach I will make a point to stop in again. There are many gorgeous pieces.

We love this place! The folks are so friendly and helpful and the glass pieces are amazing. We own about a half dozen of their pieces and always go in when we're at the beach.

My dad studies material science and is really into glassworks. He once visited glass shops in Murano Italy. He said the quality of the glass works in this shop is better than a lot of shops in Murano Italy.

Amazing hand blown glass here. Definitely worth the visit to see them making works of art.

We had a chat with the owner. He is very sweet and explained a lot about the glass making industry even he showed the furnace which is burning at 1600 F all around the year. This glass making skill takes years to master and has limited labor with expensive materials thus it makes an expensive incredible art form.

Beautiful pieces from at least three different artists with some interesting techniques employed. Jim was happy to talk about the techniques used, including a really awesome furnace with an MoSi2 (molybdenum disilicide) heating element, which has some interesting physics. There were a variety of glassmaking and physics/engineering textbooks around, which leads me to believe the man really knows his stuff.

Stopped in and had a great conversation with Jim. We talked glass blowing and bladesmithing and I ended up leaving with a really cool pendant for my wife. Truly an amazing artisan and highly recommend stopping in to see when you're in town.

Gorgeous glass art! If you go on a weekend, you can watch them blow glass. It's fascinating

We have stopped here many times. Our last visit was a disappointment due to the store no longer letting you watch the glass blowing.

Beautiful and unique pieces. From large bowls and vases to paper weights and everything in between. The owner is quite the historian and can tell you stories about the artists and their techniques.
