ART, CULTURE & HISTORY Lincoln City’s glass art tradition dates back to historic times, when Japanese glass floats made for fishing nets washed up on local beaches. This eventually inspired local artists to create their own glass floats, as well as more treasures from glass. Witness glass blowing firsthand at the Lincoln City Glass Center in the Historic Taft District. Artisans can be seen practicing this age-old craft whenever the kilns are firing. Wish to make your own art? Experienced glass blowers will guide guests through the process of creating their own glass float, votive, paperweight, or heart. Don’t leave without browsing the on-site gallery filled with wonderfully unique pieces. Handmade Glass Art Lincoln City is famous for glass art. From hands-on experiences to stunning gallery exhibitions, this unique art form shimmers throughout the community. PHOTOS BY NATHAN HOLSTEDT 52
