Immerse Yourself in Glass Art

Lincoln City is known for its glass art, both on the beach and in the town.

But not to worry if you miss the glass floats, because there are artisans making, sharing and teaching visitors about their glass art throughout Lincoln City year-round. Mor Art Glass Fusing Studio offers classes where students can learn how to create their own fused glass pieces, and leave at the end of the day with their own unique work of art. Or if you’re not in the mood to create your own art, Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio offers live demonstrations and a variety of glass floats and other artwork for sale, in addition to opportunities for visitors to create their own pieces.
