Visit the Glass Ranch in Escondido CA for their Semi-annual (the 15th) Open House Thanksgiving Weekend

Art Glass at the Glass Ranch in Escondido CA

The Glass Ranch in Escondido is an amazing artistic venue. If you have ANY appreciation for artistic creativity, this is a MUST SEE...unlike anything I have ever seen anywhere. Absolutely stunning!!

Art Glass at the Glass Ranch in Escondido CAI was referred to the Glass Ranch last year by another artist friend, and, wow, am I glad I learned about this place. It was the perfect place to buy a wedding gift for our daughter last October!

Cherrie LaPorte and husband Garry Cohen have created a masterpiece in the Lake Hodges area to showcase their glassblowing talents.

And the Glass Ranch semi-annual open houses are a wonderful experience, with glass blowing demonstrations, and the opportunity to stroll  through their expansive, beautiful gardens filled with glass creations.

And of course there is a maze of art glass vases, jewelry, sculpture, glassware and more to acquire for friends, family or yourself.

I just drove through your area while on vacation. If I were staying another week, I'd go to the open house.  It sounds like a Must See, sorry I will miss it.

Hi Jeff, Wonderful! The Glass Ranch looks to have some great talent in the glass bowing. I also found one a glass factory in Rancho Bernardo at the Winery that also has some unique things. I am impressed we have these great sources in North County and I am sure they both do so well with all the great things they create.

Hi Jeff, I keep forgetting to congratulate you on the great CAR magazine article highlighting you. When I first saw it , I was thinking that the post they photographed was about Solvang. Had to get my magnifier out and sure enough it was Carlsbad Oktoberfest. Way to go and the should have mentioned that you are the new President of CRS Southern CA. Chapter.

So stunning, Jeff!  I am so glad I got to see this from afar.  I used to work part-time at a store featuring only handmade high quality artists and I loved the glass artists the most.

And congratulations on your CRS Presidency, too.  You will make a difference, I predict.  : )
