Lincoln City ARTISAN POTTERY AND BLOWN GLASS

 Close to Salishan there is a narrow road that leads to two hidden places where you can watch glass being blown and shaped and then go to a small shop that is filled with hand thrown pottery made by local artisans.

The glass shop is ALDER HOUSE GLASS BLOWERS that is guarded by a huge Bull Mastiff and his smaller bulldog companion (I'm sorry that I didn't get a photo).  Watching glass turning into functional pieces, such as a drinking mug, gave us a new appreciation of the time and talent needed to create these beautiful glass creations.

Our next stop was MOSSY CREEK POTTERY where at least twenty individual pottery artisans show their pottery - everything from small ornamental items to huge bowls and dinnerware and accessories.  Each artisan has a unique style and there are many temptations.
