Glass art has been my passion and the focus of my art collection during the past decade. The height…read moreof folly considering I have a couple of boisterous boys at home. Boys that regularly play tackle football and wrestle in my family room. I've never regretted an art purchase. But, I have regretted walking away from some over the years. And in some cases have gone to great lengths to procure a piece I spotted while on vacation. The reason is that I typically like to step back and think about it for awhile before making a purchase. My bright line for making an art purchase is whether it tortures me a little bit by its absence. The Volta Glass Gallery is across the street from the Jennifer Sears Glass Art Studio and is where the artists based there sell their work. After making my own glass art, it gave me an even greater appreciation for the artists working in this medium. When I walked into Volta, I was greeted by Kelly Howard and gravitated toward the most recent addition to her collection. A stunning piece and we had a lovely conversation about her work in the gallery. Everything from light fixtures to glass floats and a lot in between. I thought about it for a day and returned to make my purchase. Even though it was no longer Black Friday, they gave me the special discount we discussed on my initial visit. Great customer service all around. I'm thrilled to have acquired two new pieces for my collection on this trip to the coast. My amateur effort and the work of a master in the field.

She was just delightful and was the gentleman who took us across the street to meet her at her other gallery. So delighted to find the beautiful piece we walked away with. This is a must do stop if you are traveling through the area. They have glassblowing across the street and you can make your own, with a lot of help. We did that two years ago...it was a blast.

It's not pushy sales people like you find in Carmel and other coastal towns. I wasn't swept into a room and offered champagne. The sales staff allows you to walk around and view without harassment. At one point we were asked if we would like to take a picture of some art we like. Some Fine Arts Museums have changed their policies and now allow photography in parts of their permanent collections. However, they typically ban all photography in special exhibitions, which are often the main reason people are visiting. Galleries are trying to sell art so typically pictures would be ban. I appreciated the gesture. We practiced the best self-control we possibly could however after falling in love with this picture the first visit we had to purchase the second visit.

The manager at the gallery contacted the artist and before we could get back to Portland our offer was accepted. It was simple and easy. We arranged a pickup date instead of having it delivered. I would recommend stopping in if you're in the area. You never know what piece might catch your attention.

It turned out stunning and is now one of our favorite keepsakes from the trip. The staff is patient, friendly, and great at guiding you through every step. Even if you have never worked with glass before, they make the process easy and enjoyable. Watching the artists work is incredible and creating your own piece makes the experience feel even more special. If you want a unique, creative activity on the coast, I highly recommend the Lincoln City Glass Center. It is welcoming, inspiring, and something you will remember forever.
