John Cook Glass Studio and Gallery

This is a small gallery attached to the artist’s workshop. The art here is BEAUTIFUL. It’s difficult to find bargains in quality glass art anywhere, but this stuff is all quite reasonably priced.

This small glass studio and gallery contains one artist’s work and is easy to visit since it is in a converted gas station on 101 at the entrance to downtown Gearhart.
The majority of the artist’s collection is focused on the natural world. Plants, animals and sealife as seen through the artist’s eye and realized through his steady hand. Many of the colors were vivid and warm without being garish. My favorite piece was the white ibis, a mix of metal and glass, well beyond my price limit. I really enjoyed the more whimsical pieces including the fish glasses (
) and flowers that were mounted to the wall. Things to consider for another visit.
I ended up purchasing a small piece for my collection and the transaction part of the process was quick and easy. Hard to assign a star rating because I certainly liked the gallery. I do have a wee bit of a glass art hangover after seeing a ridiculous amount of glass art within the last month during my visit to Tacoma.
