Shoppers at the Northwest coast can find the perfect gift for everyone on their list. We ve picked a few of our favorites ideas for great gifts from the Northwest Coast. Glass Fish or Fish Glass Whimsical hand blown glassfish ornaments from, glass artist John Cook of Gearhart are delightful little creations, which will brighten any home or office. Hang them with fishing line near the window or display them from a small tabletop stand. Each unique piece is individually blown into a mold, then the tail added by hand to the hot glass.
Many larger hand blown pieces are also available.
Cook s work is available at dozens of galleries across the country or direct from the Gearhart studio and gallery. All items can be packed to ship. You ll find a selection of glass art at several other coastal locations as well. Icefire Glassworks in Cannon Beach is the working studio for artists Jim Kingwell and Suzanne Kindland. Visitors to their studio can often watch the glass artists at work.
